Achievement Testing

Achievement testing measures what a person has learned or mastered in specific subjects, such as math, reading, or science. These tests assess individual knowledge and skills typically gained through schooling or training. They help educators evaluate a student’s academic progress, identify strengths and areas needing improvement, and determine if curriculum goals are being met. Unlike aptitude tests, which predict potential, achievement tests focus on current knowledge and understanding based on what has already been taught. They are valuable tools for guiding instruction and supporting student success.
