A method of conducting an exam wherein the pupils or students are told in advance what exactly are the questions that is going to come out in the exam.
It is so frustrating for students to spend a long time studying a part of a chapter/s that does not come out during the examination; and worst the part that they did not study are the ones that came out. The students tend to feel that they worked so hard and they got almost nothing in return, thereby discouraging them from studying for the next exams. To continue, only the ones that the teacher mentioned will appear in the exam the next time they meet or any schedule. If it is an enumeration or definition, only the ones that the teacher had informed them in advance to be part of the exam will appear during the actual examination. If it is a calculation, no variation or twisting of the problems discussed will be given in that exam.
