It causes some courses to be removed from the study and educational program of students, which causes damage Zest.

Research should be done that today we are witnessing this expected sympathy and harmony and we can witness more and more close communication in the coming years with more planning. The quality of question design and the type of question design should be in such a way that it is based on the textbooks and educational goals and is appropriate to the level and expectation in the formal education system.
