Some things are taken for granted in education, like competitive examples, but it's worth asking not only whether they're effective practice, but whether they're even ethical. This paper looks at the ethics of two specific exams as well, the JEE (or Gaokao) in India and the EVAU in Spain. It argues, "while these exams could not be described as totally unethical, certain practices and environmental
factors surrounding these exams could be described as unethical in the sense of socio-economic equality and mental health." I think more thought on the subject is warranted. 6 page PDF. Related: a case study. a 1997 paper from Tim Verhoeff.
