For question 36-45, read the text. Use the words given in CAPITALS to form a word that fits in the numbered gaps. There is an example at the beginning (0). Write your answer on YOUR ANSWER part.

It is sometimes said that your schooldays are the (0. happy) days of your life, and people often feel that this should be a period of (36. ENJOY) enjoyment. However, exams often affect students’ happiness, and many students express a (37. PREFER) preference for alternative methods of assessment, where the work they do throughout the year counts towards their final mark. They say that exams test short-term memory and (38. KNOW) knowledge which is forgotten immediately after the exam. Also, assessing coursework as part of the final marks changes students' (39. BEHAVE) behaviour; making them more (40. RESPONSIBILITY)responsible about studying. There are some students, however, who prefer final examinations, saying that in (41. COMPARE) comparement they only have to work hard for two months a year and so they have more time for their leisure (42. ACT)activity. They say that some students receive (43. ASSIST) with their coursework from their parents, so it is not an accurate (44. MEASURE)measuring of how hard they have worked or of their real (45. ABLE)ability in the subject they are studying.
