Please review my essay.
Question: Some people believe that placement exams are the best way for educational institutions to assess students' abilities and place them in appropriate classes, while others argue that these exams put unnecessary pressure on young learners and provide limited insights into their true capabilities. Discuss both views and provide your own opinion.
Placement exams have long been used by educational institutions to determine students’ proficiency in specific subjects and place them in suitable classes. Some individuals, including myself, believe in their effectiveness in evaluating students’ knowledge and skills. Others, however, contend that they give limited insights into children’s true abilities and subject them to undue burden.
On one hand, placement exams may overwhelm students and fail to capture the full range of their capabilities. They may face immense pressure to perform well to avoid the negative consequences of being placed in a lower-level class, including disappointing their parents and experiencing peer judgment. This can hinder their performance and lead to anxiety and stress. Additionally, placement exams are constrained by time limitations, preventing a comprehensive evaluation of every aspect of the subject. Students may encounter unfamiliar questions or topics, while areas in which they excel may not be adequately covered, resulting in an accurate reflection of their potential.
On the other hand, such exams typically act as effective assessment tools. They are standardized, ensuring a fair and consistent evaluation for all students. They also provide a set of predetermined criteria, minimizing grading discrepancies and teachers’ biases. Moreover, they can be administered to a large number of students simultaneously within a relatively short period. Besides, teachers can efficiently grade students’ exams based on fixed answers. In certain cases, grading can be automated using computerized systems, further expediting the delivery of results. This allows students to promptly receive their exam outcomes and know what class they will be enrolled in, while also saving time and resources for the educational institution.
In conclusion, due to time constraints and potential negative consequences, placement exams can exacerbate stress and fail to accurately and comprehensively assess students’ actual level. However, they generally serve as effective evaluation methods because of their objectivity and efficiency in terms of administration and grading.

Good work! The essay is very tightly written. Though not a serious criticism, one thing of note is that the essay is quite formulaic and stiff. It's logical in it's presentation but lacking any personal flavor, which causes it to be boring to read. Rather than just displaying the facts and explaining, add your own personal voice to the essay. A convincing essay does not have to be lifeless.
Personally, I do not recommend a conclusion that starts with "in conclusion" nor do I recommend a conclusion that summarizes the essay. This is overdone and adds more to the formulaic, lifeless type of essay. Here is how I would write the conclusion for the essay:
It is clear that stress-inducing placement exams, despite their objectivity and efficacy, have their fair share of shortcomings, which many have begun to notice. Though COVID-19 was the cause, even after the pandemic has long settled down, some colleges in the US have continued with their policy of disregarding students' SAT scores, taking a more holistic approach to college acceptances. Contrarily, colleges in Asia, such as India, China, and Korea (to name a few), plague young adults with college admission exams with no end in the foreseeable future. While there is no concrete answer to which approach is better, change has come to the US, change that might spread to other countries in the future.
I think to provide a more colorful conclusion, it is best to very (and I mean very) briefly sum up the essay. Then, follow up with a thought that wasn't mentioned previously to leave the reader with a big takeaway. Of course, make that takeaway something related to your own beliefs and one that is consistent with the argument presented in the essay. Since your essay was mainly a showcasing of both sides, I included my personal thoughts into the example conclusion. Feel free to disregard it, but I hope you take this into account the next time you write an essay.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. I acknowledge that my essay may come across as formulaic and stiff, primarily because I initially write it and then use ChatGPT to refine it. I have also found ideas for my writing by utilizing this AI language model.
