Differences between Testing, Assessment, and Evaluation.

• A test or quiz is used to examine someone's knowledge of
something to determine what he or she knows or has learned.
Testing measures the level of skill or knowledge that has been

reached.
• Evaluation is the process of making judgments based on
criteria and evidence.

• Assessment is the process of documenting knowledge, skills,
attitudes and beliefs, usually in measurable terms. The goal
of assessment is to make improvements, as opposed to simply

being judged. In an educational context, assessment is the
process of describing, collecting, recording, scoring, and
interpreting information about learning.
