    - - To rank or grade students and plan future learning goals.
    - - Summative assessment
- - - - Assessments that use a basic threshold to understand student knowledge and provides a grade or score as an assessment result. Examples include the ACT, SAT, AP examinations and IQ examinations.
    - - Assessments that are administered multiple times in a school year. They use benchmarks throughout the school year to identify the success of lesson plans. Instructors typically take this time to revise course materials and instructions.
    - - Educators use this type of assessment to evaluate student knowledge after completing a course. Educators may give this assessment at the end of the semester to understand if the coursework helped a student apply their knowledge during an assessment. Based on the results, a teacher may revise, rework and develop new lesson plans and teaching strategies for the following semester.
