- This article is about a type of examination; for The Outer Limits'' episode, see Final Exam (episode).
A final examination (or final exam) is a test given to students at the end of a course of study or training. Although the term can be used in the context of physical training, it most often occurs in the academic world. Most high schools, colleges and universities run final exams at the end of a particular academic term, typically a semester, or more traditionally at the end of a complete degree course.
The purpose of the test is to make a final review of the topics covered and assessment of each student's knowledge of the subject. Not all courses or curricula culminate in a final exam; instructors may assign a term paper or final project in some courses. The weighting of the final also varies. It may be the largest—or only—factor in the student's course grade, but in other cases may carry the same weight as a midterm exam, or the student may be exempted.
