Types Of Evaluation Tests Of The Basis Of Purpose

Though there is some overlapping with the evaluation techniques as discussed earlier, purpose-specific category includes tests designed to achieve a specific purpose of evaluation. Generally four test-types are identified in this category. Let us briefly present the features of each of these.

Types of Tests

Diagnostic Test

These tests help us in identifying ‘area of learning’ in

which a learner may need a remedial course and they

provide us a profile of what the learner knows and does not know. A diagnostic test may consist of a battery of a number of sub-tests to cover sub areas.

Aptitude test

Aptitude tests basically serve a predictive function, they help us in identifying potential talents and desirable characteristics which are essential for one to be competent to perform a specific task. These tests are generally used while selecting people for special courses.

Aptitude test most commonly consist on numarical reasoning, verbal reasoning , speed, accuracy, etc..

Achievement test

As the name indicates, such tests aim to measure the extent to which the objectives of a course have been achieved. The usual end-of-course exam may be taken as a typical example of an achievement test.

This is designed to measure a student performance in specific academic areas such as reading comprehension and oral expression.

Types of Achievement test

Proficiency Tests

These tests aim to assess the general ability of a person

at a given time. Their scope is governed by a reasonable exception of what abilities learners of a given status (say, matriculates or graduates) should possess. The proficiency test are designed to measure a people ability in a language whether they have any training in that language or not.
