"A diagnostic assessment is a form of pre-assessments that allows a teacher to determine students' individual strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills to prior instruction."
"Individual or group projects, portfolios, student logs, and journals can all be considered performance assessments. Performance assessment should allow students to demonstrate knowledge and skills, including the process by which they solve problems."
"A benchmark assessment is an evaluation of student learning progress, used to determine whether they are on track to performing well on future assessments."
"An interim assessment is a form of assessment that educators use to [either] evaluate where students are in their learning progress and to determine whether they are on track to performing well on future assessments, such as standardized tests or end-of-course exams."
"Formative assessment refers to a wide variety of methods that teachers use to conduct i n process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course."
"Summative assessments are used to evaluate student learning, skill acquisition, and academic achievement at the conclusion of a defined instructional period- typically at the end of a project, or unit."

Example 2: An example of an interim assessment could be an end-of-unit test because they were applied to instruction and student understanding.
Example 1: An exit ticket is a great example of an informal assessment because it allows the teacher to see what the students were able to learn after the lesson.
Example 2: Standardized state tests are a great example of a formal assessment because students performances are compared among themselves and student learning is measured based on learning standard.
