Essay Exams

Students believe that in writing essay exams, all they have to do is make their answers as lengthy as they needed. But, essay exams should allow one to demonstrate one’s mastery of the topic and one’s critical thinking with the use of the ability to synthesize. One has to prepare well and answer the questions concisely, coherently and completely.

"Students believe that in writing essay exams, all they have to do is make their answers as lengthy as they needed.(THE LAST WORD IS IN THE PAST TENSE ALL OF A SUDDEN. PLUS, I THINK WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN HERE IS "AS LENGTHY AS POSSIBLE").

"But,essay exams should allow one to demonstrate one’s mastery of the topic and one’s critical thinking... (DO YOU REALLY NEED TO BEGIN THIS SENTENCE WITH A COORDINATE CONJUNCTION?)

"with the use of the ability to synthesize." shorter: "BY SYNTHESIZING".
