The Mid-Year Exam is not conducted online due to the need for in-person assessment. This is primarily because online exams lack the necessary oversight and security measures to ensure fairness and integrity. According to a study by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), online exams are more susceptible to cheating and technical issues, which can compromise the validity of the results. Additionally, in-person exams provide a controlled environment that allows for better monitoring of students' performance and behavior, thereby maintaining the quality and reliability of the assessment process.
