I am going to have a debate. The topic is "exam is not a good way to test our knowledge" (the exam here refers to paper test). And my thesis is focus on " Students only study the topics that are tested in the exams, and not those that are not tested, which defeats the purpose of the exam".
I have no idea on how to elaborate this point. Please tell me if u know. Thanks a lot!

The point of "school" and "exams" is not to test your general knowledge, but to train you so that you can be a participating member of society.
Everyone needs to learn how to "work on something" and "get the job done". An exam does not only test your knowledge, but also test if you are able to concentrate on a certain task within a certain time period. In other words, if you're able to do your job.
Some people may be really smart, but if they can't ever do what they're supposed to do, they won't be of any use in our society.

Knowledge has no basis without ignorance. And vice-versa.
