Q.1. What is an achievement test?

Ans.

An achievement test measures how an individual has learned over time and what the individual has learned by analysing his present performance. It also measures how a person understands and masters of particular knowledge area at the present time. With this test we can analyse just how quick and precise an individual is in performing the tasks that they consider an accomplishment. An achievement test is an excellent choice to analyse and evaluate the academic performance of an individual. For example every school requires its students to show their proficiency in a variety of subjects.

In most cases, the students are expected to pass to some degree to move to the next class. An achievement test will record and evaluate the performance of these students to determine how well they are performing against the standard.
