Abstract:

The most important purpose of testing should be to facilitate learning. The process of testing should enable the student to discover where he stands in his progress through a given course, and at the same time uncover weaknesses that can be helped by remedial study. Through specially structured examinations, the teacher should be able, not only to determine whether the student is doing satisfactory work, but at the same time to evaluate his own degree of accomplishment as a teacher.
