The concept of exams was invented in the late 19th century by an American businessman named Henry Fischel. The first-ever exam was conducted in China and it was the first country to adopt the concept of exams. The first exam conducted by China was known as the Imperial Examination. Examination means to observe, assess, inspect or study a subject. These are conducted by scholars of a particular subject or by scientists or researchers. In today’s world, we know exams as a test to assess a people’s understanding of a particular subject.
