Formative, Summative and Norm, Criterion Referenced

Formative assessment occurs during lessons to provide ongoing feedback to help students improve, while summative assessment occurs at the end of a course or unit to evaluate learning. Formative focuses on development, while summative focuses on summarizing knowledge gained. Norm-referenced tests compare individual scores to others, using measures like percentiles, but criterion-referenced tests measure mastery of specific objectives regardless of how others score.
