Schools often use different types of tests to judge how well students are learning.
One common type measures whether students have gained a set of skills that is necessary for their success. For example, students must be able to use proper grammar, spelling, and sentence structure in their writing, so a test might measure whether they are able to do so. Ohio proficiency tests are an example of this type of test. A second type of test measures the knowledge students have, compared to other students. For example, students might be asked to solve quadratic equations as part of a mathematics exam.
