Content: It is also vital to note that teachers use tests to evaluate their performance and see where they can adjust for the sake of the same learner who wants to run away from being examined by the teacher. Testing is important in a school because it helps teachers and the pupils to determine how much they have taught and learnt, respectively. It is because of the teacher trying to find the areas of difficulty in order to take corrective measures that tests are administered in school. A teacher who fails to administer any test to the pupil is doing a disservice to the child. Similarly, a pupil who keeps away from tests is also doing himself or herself a disservice. Apart from what has been said earlier, testing is important because it helps motivate the boys and girls to learn more. Under normal circumstances, when the date of either a weekly or monthly test is announced by the subject teacher, serious pupils will prepare adequately in order for them to pass with flying colours. It also encourages those who perform below par to study hard for them to pass the next test. Testing also encourages positive competition in class or school as pupils will strive to outdo one another and in the end, the fighting spirit will even repeat itself in the national examinations at the end of the year. Further, testing gives teachers the opportunity to report to parents their childrenâ€™s progress.
