1.1.1. What is testing in education? Almost everybody has experienced testing during his or her life.

It measures the level of skill or knowledge that has been reached. An evaluative device or procedure in which a sample of an examinee’s behavior in a specified domain is obtained and subsequently evaluated and scored using a standardized process (The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, 1999)

1.2. Test and assessment are used interchangeably, but they do mean something different. A test is a “product” that measures a particular behavior or set of objectives. Meanwhile assessment is seen as a procedure instead of a product. Assessment is used during and after the instruction has taken place. After you’ve received the results of your assessment, you can interpret the results and in case needed alter the instruction. Tests are done after the instruction has taken place, it’s a way to complete the instruction and get the results. The results of the tests don’t have to be interpreted, unlike assessment.
