DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION TEST 2012-2013









Diagnostic testing is an important tool for educators who want to know where their students are academically in order to bring those students to where they need to be. If you want your students to move forward, you need to identify where they have started; diagnostic testing is the way to do this.

A diagnostic test measures where a student is in terms of his knowledge

and skills. It will assess the abilities that student has at a particular time

to solve problems or answer questions in a subject area.











A diagnostic test is useful if a teacher uses it more than once
throughout the school year. Given at the beginning of the year it can help him
plan his instruction. Midyear he can determine how much students have learned
so far and what he needs to re-teach. At the end of the year it can provide an
assessment of a student's total learning for the class.
