The CBSE tests your academic progress through two assessment techniques as a part of the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) process.

Summative Assessment (SA I and II): Carried out at the end of a particular learning cycle

Formative Assessment (FA I, II, III, IV): Employed to examine the continuous progress of students after each learning session.

Often, a lot of planning and practice goes into preparations for the Summative Assessments. But one shouldn’t forget that formative assessments constitute almost 40% marks for the whole academic session. FA tests are ideally feedback-centered activities intended to improve your performance and self esteem. In fact, if you prepare well for your FAs, your SA exams will be a smooth ride. We hope this article will help you prepare well for your formative assessments and score more marks!
