  1. exams

    An examination (exam or evaluation) or test is an educational assessment intended to measure a test-taker's knowledge, skill, aptitude, physical fitness, or classification in many other topics (e.g., beliefs). A test may be administered verbally, on paper, on a computer, or in a predetermined area that requires a test taker to demonstrate or perform a set of skills. Tests vary in style, rigor and requirements. There is no general consensus or invariable standard for test formats and difficulty. Often, the format and difficulty of the test is dependent upon the educational philosophy of the instructor, subject matter, class size, policy of the educational institution, and requirements of accreditation or governing bodies. A test may be administered formally or informally. An example of an informal test is a reading test administered by a parent to a child. A formal test might be a final examination administered by a teacher in a classroom or an IQ test administered by a psychologist in a clinic. Formal testing often results in a grade or a test score. A test score may be interpreted with regards to a norm or criterion, or occasionally both. The norm may be established independently, or by statistical analysis of a large number of participants. A test may be developed and administered by an instructor, a clinician, a governing body, or a test provider. In some instances, the developer of the test may not be directly responsible for its administration. For example, Educational Testing Service (ETS), a nonprofit educational testing and assessment organization, develops standardized tests such as the SAT but may not directly be involved in the administration or proctoring of these tests.

Examples of exams in a Sentence

  1. Galen Sherwin:

    It shouldn’t take the intervention of the ACLU to get a test administrator to do this, it is leveling the playing field, and without it, women taking these grueling, all-day exams would be in very distracting and medically risky situations.

  2. Mark Kelly:

    I don't really have any surprises, a lot of the research we do is imagery based. Just this morning, I was doing some ultrasound exams on my eyes, on my heart and a lot of that data is stuff that will be analyzed by scientists and researchers and it will take time well after I'm back before we have results. But from a kind of a subjective perspective, I kind of knew what to expect going into this because I've flown a long-duration flight before, so you know there's been little effects on my vision which I had last time. But overall, nothing alarming.

  3. Education Minister Malakai Tabar:

    The overwhelming majority of students simply want to go to class, sit their exams and proceed to the next semester.

  4. Annette Greene:

    This was not cheating, first-graders doodle all over the exams.

  5. Steven Lee:

    She finally makes it in, and then she asked me this one question that really just stuck with me. ... 'Why can't we do eye exams at home?' and that just really gave me a light-bulb moment, i ended up going home and just started doodling, that night, a lot of different ideas.
