Achievement Test 

• An achievement test is a standardized assessment designed to measure an individual's knowledge, skills, or proficiency in a specific subject area or domain acquired as a result of instruction or training. 

• It evaluates what a person has already learned and mastered, rather than their potential or capacity to learn new things

• Achievement tests are designed to measure learned skills and knowledge in a specific subject area or grade level.

• They are typically standardized, meaning they are administered and scored in the same way for all students. 

• This allows for reliable and comparable results across different schools, districts, or even states.

• These tests are typically used to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction, determine students' mastery of specific content, and make educational decisions based on their performance.

• Standardized achievement tests are administered and scored consistently, allowing for comparisons across a large group of individuals.
