What do you understand by diagnostic evaluation?

Ans.

In simple terms, diagnostic evaluation means to diagnose or discover the student's difficulties while learning and assessing the problem accurately. A diagnostic test is performed to disclose weaknesses and strength to themselves. This evaluation helps the student's in knowing their personality, their weak points. This will further help them to understand what kind of a learner they are and what should be their approach to learning.

Thus, diagnostic tests are not just for student's but for anyone who wants to diagnose his/her performance. This is the best tool available to teachers. Teachers use it when student's continuously face trouble in learning. It also helps the teachers to understand their level of teaching. Even performers or achievers can use this tool to their advantage.
