Board scores or Aptitude test – what's a better way to decide your stream after 10th ?
10th board results are now gauged in grades and hence schools are looking to conduct aptitude tests to arrive at the apt field for a student.

But taking aptitude tests may put a lot pressure on students. I have experienced it. I am pursuing last year of B.Com. when i went for mba cet the questions were not related to the commerce stream in which most of the commerce students are interested. In aptitude test questions are always asked out

The best way to take decision is to ask the students themselves that in which field they are interested. None other way is beneficial to the students, parents n teachers also.

at last I am feeling happy that the concept of separate aptitude test is being discussed in open forum which I have highlighting for many years in my replies and comments to other discussions. I strongly recommend that aptitude test is the only way to judge the person's capabilities in his career an

In my view, aptitude tests are a far better option than anything else.However, they should start when the child is in class VIII, so that they start forming an opinion about themselves.But, this is a step full of responsibilities and risks to be taken by those who take charge of it.When the time co

Aptitude test is OK. It should involve question of Maths, Science, Society, Family relations, Nature, Religion, daily news, Automobiles, New Market products, Literature etc. Such questions and answers will help to analyse the interest of candidate and future decison making for higher education.

Well a very nice discussion and I think it will be a nice decision to allot streams on the basis of an aptitude test and not on the basis of the marks that they achieve!

I would say that the aptitude test will help the students to a great extent and secondly it is the responsibility of the teachers and the parents to take care of child's interests and his aptitude......

there is a parental responsibility also as these students are tender in age.there is a craze for Medicine and Engineering.so, there must be rationality here.it is not a mechanical process, admitting students in Mathes Or Biology.so many avenues lie open.so,basing on performance and aptitude, decisio

After 10th students should consider enhancing their educational qualifications. One of the best approaches while deciding on the subjects/ stream is to opt for or look at doing something that they are good at and would enjoy.

However in the process, there are pros and cons attached as in few might get exactly what they wanted while others might tend to land in a field which is not at all at par with their interest. The aptitude tests would have nothing to do with their academics or performance in school; just a facility

The moment students get over with Xth board exam, the next fear that makes them go crazy - is to decide upon what next to opt for.
