ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Test (assessment)

A test is like a giant puzzle that helps teachers understand what kids know and what they need to learn. The test might have questions or tasks that need to be answered or completed with knowledge you already have or that you have just learned. By taking the test, your teacher can also see how well you can remember information or solve problems on your own. This way, the teacher can make sure you understand what you're learning and help you improve your knowledge and skills for future lessons. It's like taking a big test to see how much you've learned in school!
