I am not sure that high schools that do away with final exams are doing their students any favors. Most college classes have very heavily weighted cumulative exams (sometimes as much as 70% of the class grade) and most students need practice in studying for this type of exam before they get to college.

As Marian said



One of the things that surprised my son when he got to college was the fact that he had to take final exams seriously
