Final tests; the best option to help high school students to improve their results

Final tests are nowadays the most chosen option in high school, but their more frequent use doesn't make them better, what's more, this system sometimes makes the students get confused and not work efficiently.

It is said that final tests are better than continuous assessment because the student focuses his effort in a short period of time instead of  studying during the whole assessment. For this reason, my opinion about this topic is that obviously final tests are better than continuous assessment because, as I said, 
the latter allow the student to have more free time during the assessment, and this is exactly what high school students need. Consequently, after this short period of hard studying, students have time to enjoy their adolescence and in addition, the results are better than in the continuous assessment because the pressure is bigger and this motivates them to get as high marks as they are able to. 

To conclude , we should remember 
that it is necessary to take everything into account to help to improve students' results, and the option of giving them more free time is the best option because they need  to relax from time to time to be able to study and focus all their effort in a short period of time.
