final examinations

Semester's concluding assessments

Final examinations are tests given at the end of an academic term to assess what students have learned over the course.

Often called finals, they typically carry significant weight in determining grades and may cover an entire semester's material.

I have three final examinations next week.

The period when these tests occur is finals week.
