standardized tests: PSAT, or end-of-course exams.
Used to evaluate where students are in their learning progress and determine whether they are on track to performing well on future assessments Interim assessments are usually administered periodically during a course or school year (for example, every six or eight weeks) and separately from the process of instructing students (i.e., unlike formative assessments, which are integrated into the instructional process).
Reading Tests, Tryouts (A,B,C Teams) WIDA screener, HSPT (HighSchool Placement Test.)
Used to “place” students into a course, course level, or academic program. Placement assessments are administered before a course/program begins. The basic intent is to match students with appropriate learning experiences that address their distinct learning needs. Examples?
IEP, Finger printing (screening out the criminals). DRUG TESTS, INTERVIEWS , COLOR BLIND, HEARING TEST, EYE EXAM.

Used in a school or district to ensure that all teachers are evaluating student performance in a more consistent, reliable, and effective manner. Common assessments are used to encourage greater consistency in teaching and assessment among teachers who are responsible for teaching the same content, grade level, department, or content area.
