examinations
- 1Plural of examination.
Medical examinations revealed no signs of the disease in any of the patients.
She passed all her college examinations with top grades.
Note
Only the countable side of examination takes a plural. Separate tests, medical inspections and courtroom interrogations can be counted (two medical examinations, a week of final examinations), but the uncountable act of examining cannot, so a phrase like on closer examination never becomes examinations. Context decides which kind is meant: patients undergo them, students take them, and witnesses face them in court or during discovery.
