Post-Testing and Feedback
Why Post-Test?
The post-test reflects what has already been accomplished with the pre-test by continuing to measure the true impact of the Cambridge course. Students are given the opportunity to apply everything that they have learned up to this point. The post-test enables a pre- and post-test comparison that measures both student and teacher progress. Teachers and administrators use this valuable pre- and post-test comparison data to fine-tune existing instruction, help students formulate personal action plans, and plan changes to the program to allow for even greater growth.
How to Post-Test
Post-Testing should be completed in four steps:
- Step 1: Prepare for Test Day
- Step 2: Administer the Test
- Step 3: Submit Your Answer Forms
- Step 4: Review Your Reports
