tests and assessments

Tests and assessments are tools used to measure a person's knowledge, skills, abilities, or understanding in a specific area. Tests are often standardized, like exams, with set questions and scoring, while assessments can be more varied, including observations and interviews. They help identify strengths, weaknesses, progress, or qualifications. Both are used in education, employment, healthcare, and other fields to make informed decisions about learning, development, or treatment. Essentially, they are methods to gather information about an individual’s capabilities or status to support growth and decision-making.
