Assessments and Standards

Assessments are methods used to measure a person's knowledge, skills, or abilities to determine how well they understand or can perform tasks. Standards are established benchmarks or criteria that define the expected level of performance or quality. Together, assessments evaluate whether individuals meet these standards, ensuring consistency and fairness across different tests or evaluations. For example, in education, assessments like exams measure understanding based on standards set for a subject or grade level. This helps identify strengths, areas for improvement, and ensures that everyone meets the expected competencies.
