I believe that the accuracy of the marks depends upon the type of tests or the assignments teachers hand into their students. If the tests are good enough to evaluate the curricular and core competencies of the student then the marks can be accurate. But I feel that assessing the students' knowledge in the set time constraint is not fair. In those cases, the marks are not accurate. The student might be under pressure, going through anxiety and may not be able to perform well in the awe of constrained time.
Marks can be made accurate if the students are assessed on the willingness they show to learn new things, their passion for their interests, giving respect to others. Therefore, the students should not be graded solely on the basis of their performance in academic subjects but grading should be in such a way that reflects their consistent understanding of the subject(maybe through inquiry projects), their efforts to be a good human being who respect others viewpoint and strives for the growth of the class as a whole. Hence, in such cases, the marks can be accurate.
