As a person who hates testing and midterms/finals give me pure anxiety I don’t think they’re a waste of time. It does stress many out (including myself) but I feel like it’s good to see where your standing point is in the understanding of the subject for that semester (or trimester like me 
) I feel like if you weren’t graded for it, and it didn’t really affect your grade drastically and it was used to just see how much you understand/have progressed it’s very useful. Hopefully, that makes sense
