Week 3

Week 3, the lecture so far is easy to catch up and for this week, I learn mostly about why should we test and type of test.
 Hmm.. Why should we test?.. personal answer, because our ministry said so. So, why do our country and other country implement exam and test in every school, that is what I want to know as well. Because for sure, as a student I don't like exam and test.

Why test?
- From what I understand from this week lectures, test is important as a tools to measure students achievement and progress. We need to find out whether they really understand what they learn so far. Other than that, test is also needed for finding what difficulties that students might face during his/her learning process. For example, in English Language subject, test will help the teacher to find out what is the specific skills that each student might have difficulties with. Some student might struggle with their grammar and some might struggle with vocabulary. Test will help to figure all that out.
- To add to that, I think 1 of the reason why test is needed is to choose the best from the best when we need to pick them for a job or qualification.

Type of test
1) Progress test
2) Achievement test
3) Diagnostic test
4) Placement test
5) Aptitude test

There are some other type of test but I think I can conclude that no matter what type of test it is, it always end up to one reason, to group the candidates to who is better than the other.
