  9. How will the Formative Assessment System help me learn faster?

    The Formative Assessment System is an adaptive assessment (test) engine designed to measure a student's understanding of the underlying concepts and uniquely identify every individual student's weak areas within a given topic. The questions that a student sees will be based on his/her response to the previous question, thereby no two students will see exactly the same set of questions.

    The three steps in "Formative Assessment" are:

    • Step 1: Take an assessment (test)
    • Step 2: View report that summarizes your performance.
    • Step 3: Get a customized study plan on the basis of your performance

    Thus, the Formative Assessment System helps create an environment that facilitates faster and effective learning.

        [Top]

  10. Can I take Formative Assessment for a topic more than once?

    The Formative Assessments available on Meritnation.com help in identifying concepts that you are weak in. The adaptive nature of the Formative Assessment system thus begins its process of searching for 'weak links' in your understanding of concepts from the minute you mark your response to the first question. The system therefore does not allow you to re-take the assessment for a given topic once you have completed it.

        [Top]

  11. I am a student of class V and cannot view Formative Assessments in my Study Center page. Why is it so?

    Formative Assessments are only available for Maths & Science for CBSE board, classes VI-X.
