Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An achievement test measures the extent to which a person has learned or mastered a specific subject, skill, or set of knowledge, usually after a certain period of instruction or practice. In this case, Dr.Diop's exam is testing the students' achievement in multicultural psychology for the first half of the course. Intelligence tests measure cognitive abilities, aptitude tests assess a person's potential to learn or excel in a particular area, and academic tests may refer to any type of test taken in an educational setting, including achievement tests. However, achievement tests are most appropriate for assessing knowledge or progress in a specific subject or skill.
