Tests are used to measure skills, abilities, and knowledges. They can be used to determine whether an individual attained a basic level of competency or exhibited an increase in competency levels. Tests can measure physical attributes or capabilities, such as stress tests for heart patients. At times, pre-tests measure the level of understanding at the start of a course or program of study, and a post-test is used to measure whether the subject matter was learned or understood by the student.
