You must be familiar with the test taking process.

But you might not know the difference between one test and the other.
Let’s analyse tests and its importance.

To begin learning in a class, your teacher tells you how to take the test, what to expect, and why. There are several types of tests which can be confusing. Elements like student level, your knowledge, aptitude, and learning abilities are examples of things they test you on before they begin teaching you so that they decide your level prior to the teaching practice. It is called an Academic Diagnostic test.

What is an Academic Diagnostic test?
It is a test that teachers ask students to take, to determine if the student has a problem in understanding a certain concept or a gap in learning.
How is an Academic Diagnostic test different?

1. Teachers conduct it to identify individual problems.
2. It cannot be entirely ‘system-oriented’.
3. It is managed by the teacher.
4. It is created for specific sections of chapters.
5. Teachers keep the results for themselves to direct the teaching.
6. Teachers do not necessarily report the results to higher authorities.
7. The results help teachers teach you better.
8. It is considered a pedagogic resource.
9. Teachers use it to find out whether you understood a concept or not.
10. It is deliberate and focused.
    

Based on the results, teachers decide what to teach, what to re-teach and how. This is like writing prescriptions for patients after asking them to do some tests to properly pinpoint the problem.

Academic Diagnostic tests are common among teachers, schools, educational institutions, and online learning platforms. Yet, they are mostly conducted for the whole class or a group of students. It is rarely conducted for one individual student unless as part of tuition. Moreover, among online platforms and mobile learning applications, Academic Diagnostic Testing for individual students is a rarity.
