Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A summative assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a program's effectiveness at the end of the program. Option B, scores on a standardized achievement test given at the end of the program, is the best choice for a summative assessment as it measures the overall impact of the training program on the employees' skills and knowledge. Options A and C are formative assessments because they assess progress during the program rather than its effectiveness at the end. Option D is incorrect as it includes both formative and summative assessments, but the question asks only for the summative assessment.
