What is a Pre Assessment Test?

Pre assessment test is the process of identifying student strengths and needs in

specific skill areas using several tools and reports so that teachers can deliver

instructions to meet those requirements. Assessment happens at the beginning of

the learning experience that provides in-depth details about a student's skills in a

specific domain. It is a quick-fire method of gauging the students' knowledge.

Purpose of Pre Assessment Test

1. A pre assessment's principal goal is to gather adequate information about what

students already know about a topic. This information is used by the teacher to

design a realistic plan that solves any knowledge gaps.

2. It also helps the educator by giving him or her, a starting point for teaching. The

teacher would be aware of the most crucial areas to concentrate on as well as

those that should be avoided. They also get the opportunity to clear up any

misunderstandings before starting a learning activity.

3. Finally, diagnostic evaluations improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the

teaching/learning process by focusing on the content that has to be taught and

mastered. It brings students and teachers closer together and improves

everyone’s learning experience.

Features of Pre Assessment Test

1. Universal screening, classroom observations, progress monitoring, and

qualitative data related to the learning gap are all part of the pre assessment

process. A facilitator can adopt any of these according to need and availability.

2. An evaluation is required at the start of a learning experience.

3. It concentrates on determining a student's present level of knowledge.

4. The pre assessment examination will highlight the student's strengths and areas

for improvement.

5. It is a non-graded assessment.

6. It sets a baseline for measuring growth by comparing what a student

understood before a lesson to what they learned afterwards.

Outcomes of Pre Assessment Test

1. It facilitates the connection of learning outcomes to specific goals and

objectives.

2. Pre Assessment tests give valuable information for developing an effective

curriculum that enhances students' learning outcomes.

3. For both the teacher and the pupils, it produces a gratifying and pleasant

learning atmosphere.

4. The Pre Assessment evaluation enables the teacher to develop a meaningful

and efficient instructional strategy for the duration of the course.

5. It establishes a baseline for future evaluation. The teacher can compare

students' performance at the end of the course to their level of knowledge at the

start of the course, and note any improvements.

6. The teacher can tailor instruction based on the results of the diagnostic exam.

You can use the data to identify students who require more tutoring for a certain

section of a unit or course of study. Similarly, if a teacher notices that a group of

students has mastered a significant chunk of a unit of study, he can create

activities that allow that group to go beyond the regular curriculum for that

topic through individual or small group study.

Components of Pre Assessment

Pre assessment test is designed in a way to focus on evaluating a child at two

different levels, which will assist the facilitator in determining the student's

strengths and areas for improvement. Assessment is divided into 2 parts,

namely Part A and Part B.

Part A (Objective questions) – Objective questions are the questions based on

facts, where the learner's answer can be determined as right, wrong, true or

false. Objective Questions are asked to check the learners' knowledge in the

basics of the subject to establish that they have a firm foundation and

knowledge.

2. Part B (Descriptive questions) – Descriptive questions aim to accurately and

systematically assess the learners' knowledge in situation or phenomenon. It

can answer what, where, when and how questions. In this part 70 % LOT (Lower

Order Thinking) questions are asked which aim at Remembering, Understanding

and Applying. 30% questions are bases on HOT(Higher Order Thinking) which

focus on Analysing, Evaluating and Creating.

Note :- Pre- Primary (Pre-k, Ik-1 and Ik-2 ) will have clear and concise

questions. Their assessments will not include descriptive questions.
