Examination-oriented education is an educational model centered on coping with exams, and its main goal is to train students to get good grades in various exams. This educational model is very common in many countries and regions, especially in Asian countries. The following are some characteristics and significance of exam-oriented education:

Pay attention to exam results: exam-oriented education emphasizes the importance of exam results, and evaluates students' academic performance by their performance in the exam. Students usually face a large number of exams, including regular exams, mid-term exams, final exams and various standardized exams.

Knowledge points and exam-oriented skills: exam-oriented education focuses on imparting knowledge points and problem-solving skills needed for exams, requiring students to be familiar with the types and requirements of exams and master the strategies for dealing with exams.

Competition and pressure: Because test scores are the main criteria for evaluating students' ability, exam-oriented education often leads to competition among students and brings great learning pressure to students. Examination results have an important impact on students' entry into higher education institutions and career development.

Lack of comprehensive ability training: exam-oriented education often ignores the cultivation of students' creative thinking, practical ability and comprehensive quality. Students may get high marks in exam-oriented training, but they lack the ability of solving practical problems, critical thinking and teamwork.

In recent years, the criticism of the exam-oriented education model has gradually increased. Some people think that exam-oriented education overemphasizes scores and competition and ignores the importance of students' all-round development. Therefore, many countries have begun to explore and implement more comprehensive and diversified educational models to encourage students to cultivate creativity, critical thinking and practical ability.
