But this is why we have two kinds of tests:

skill tests (summative)

read, listen and write in the first part of this year

and supportive skills tests (formative)

grammar, vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation

formative

gives you feedback: Am I on the right track?

preparation for skill tests

you think: Ik haal het altijd

I think: maybe you have to do something again.

We use this to close the steps 11-14 

and 16-19

summative tests

These define your level in English.

formatieve toetsen
