Diagnostic assessments are pre-tests. With diagnostic assessments the teacher is able to gather the information they need in order to understand the students knowledge and engage the whole classroom. They can hep a teacher to benchmark the students progress and the teacher may consider whether to give an assessment at the end of the unit so that the students are able to see how far they have come with their development.

Performance Assessments
Performance assessments are also known as "authentic" or "alternative" assessments. Students have to perform certain tasks instead of choosing answers from a provided list. These are used to assess student's progress and may be a better indicator of what the student knows since students have to produce something with all that they've learned (synthesizing information).
