RE: Impromptu Test; The tricky tool used to keep students on their toes.
The controversy as to whether examinations are the true test of a person's knowledge would always arise. Personally, I don't think it is not. I know people who barely attend lectures but two days to a planned exams, they stick their legs in cold water, read all night and still make good grades; sometimes better grades than those who actually attended these lectures.
I for one am always ready for tests and exams at any point in time because this discipline was imbibed in me by my highschool further maths teacher who began all his classes with "alright, tear a sheet of paper. Write your name and your class..."
Impromptu tests are good to an extent as it helps to keep students on their toes and alert.

Hahah... The "tear a sheet of paper..." line will never get old in our academic system. Even until my final year in University, Lecturers usually do that especially when they notice that the class seems to be inattentive. And, it works everytime and keeps us on our toes because nobody wants to mess up his/her grade.
Using exam as a test of knowledge will always be a controversial topic which people can argue for or against at all interval. The reality, especially in our country, is that you have to do whatever it takes to get that good result.
However, when the school door closes, a different type of exam slaps people on the face. Haha.
That is literally the M.O of ever student out there. Get good grades and graduate but after that, what happens? Reality happens 😅.
