Would you help me understand something? I may be missing the pre-test/post-test issue as I have been operating under the understanding that a final exam or exit exam for a unit (often called a post-test), when given prior to teaching was termed a pre-test and could be used to identify how much students knew in advance, and which area(s) to concentrate on as a class and/or individually. For those students achieving above a cut-score, there may be curriculum compacting or even a skip to the next level of the material. This is pre-test, n'est-ce pas? Would you fill me in on what I may be missing, or how this may work differently in different schools?
