Finals and test anxiety

It's that's wonder time of year again where all of the college students are stressed out beyond their wildest dreams. And why is that? Because it is finals season of course! I don't know one student that doesn't loath finals. They stress you out to the point of no return. Then they are over, just like that. Like notching every happened. Except lots can happen: grades go up, grades go down, students pass a class because of them, students don't pass a class because of them. They are pure hell. In my opinion I think that finals should be optional. That should be used for raising grades. Not lowering them. Some students do gray in all the class work and the quizzes but when it comes to test they bomb them and that's not fair. Test anxiety is a real thing. People could know it all and take a test and flunk it. It is not fair. They probably studied harder than the kids that get A's on the tests but it won't matter because grades are how lots of teachers view you and if you ge a bad grade, well to them it's like you didn't try or even study. That's not fair. So who is with me to make finals optional? Why can't we do this? :)Let me know what you thin! :) have a great night everyone and good luck on your finals! :)
