CCT--Stay or Scrape

CCTs should most definately be scraped. They are very inaccurate gauges of the standard of a pupil.

CCTs do not speak for the level of a student at all. There are many factors affecting the results of the CCTs. For one, a student can perform very well on every normal day, but freak out on the day of the CCT, and thus resulting in very bad results. Also, one can perform badly, but still get top grades for the CCT if he 'mug' for the test the day before. Not only that, health factors play a important part too. If one is down with a mild fever that is not enough to earn him a Medical Certificate, he will have to take the test with it, which definately foils his results. CCTs are designed to tell you the level you are at, but seeing that it is so inaccurate, it is not useful at all. Thus, CCTs should be scraped.
