Scrap the CCTs - a bit the cliche, a bit the sensical

I completely support the stand the the CCTs should be scrapped.

The main reason is because CCTs are extremely stressful. Many students are forced to mug many many days before the CCT so as to increase their chances of getting high marks. In addition, the CCT questions are usually very tricky and difficult, so students are further pressed to mug harder. Students who mug hard will realise that they have not enough time to mug everything in both the textbook and notes, and this will further increase the stress levels of the students. The stress levels continue to rise during the CCT itself, as students are pressed for time to complete the questions within an extremely short period of one hour. Students who are stressed will experience depression and possibly nervous breakdowns. They may be driven to desperate measures, such as cheating, and in some extreme cases, usually to escape from such torture, commit suicide. An institution that forces its students to resort to dishonest tactics, instils constant fear in its students and kills its own students should definitely be banned or considered illegal in Singapore. Furthermore, these students who are driven to madness or suicide are among the brightest in the country, and this definitely contributes to the serious problem of 'brain drain' that Singapore is currently experiencing. As such, to prevent the banning or possible eradication of RI, the CCTs should be scrapped.
