Student Allegedly Tries To Evade From ‘No Erasure’ Policy During Test
NO ERASURE – A student allegedly tore a portion of the test paper to evade the ‘no erasure’ policy during the test.
In taking the tests, reading the general instructions before starting to answer the questions is really a big factor. Most of the time, the instructions entail not just what is ought to be done in answering the questions but as well as what are the things to avoid or the policies to be observed.
One of the usual policies that are observed in tests, most especially during mid-term and end-term examinations, is the “no erasure” policy. Although it somehow adds to the nervous feeling of the students, it teaches the learners to really finalize their answer before jotting it down.
The ‘no erasure’ policy is also one way to make sure that the answer that was written originally has not been changed. It adds to the transparency of the result.
However, not all student may simply adhere to the “no erasure” policy of the test.
While there are those that won’t change their answer for at least a 10% chance of getting it right, there can be those who would find a way to change it to the one which they believe is much more appropriate to the question.
Recently, through an email, an unidentified source sent us a photo of a test paper with a torn portion. The general instruction stresses the ‘no erasure’ policy. Along with the photo is a claim that the student allegedly tore a portion of the letter to change the answer.
The type of test given is ‘matching type’. The name of the school or the owner of the paper was not identified. Here’s the photo sent to us:
