The pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment is typically used to measure a student's current knowledge and skills in a particular subject or topic area before instruction begins. This helps teachers identify areas of strength and weakness in order to tailor their instruction to meet the individual needs of each student. The results of the assessment also help teachers set learning goals and track progress over time. Additionally, pre-assessments can help educators identify any misconceptions or gaps in understanding that students may have, allowing them to address these issues before moving forward with new material.
