Post-Test Reviews
• Human resources personnel are always looking for the best professionals to fill their positions.
• There is no shortage of options available to evaluate a candidate's level of comprehension and there are both advantages and disadvantages with each method.
• Many use a combination of summative and formative assessments, measuring their relative effectiveness with post-test evaluations.

Summative and Formative Assessments
• Companies are increasingly resorting to conducting intensive assessments to evaluate all aspects of a candidate's skills and character.
• A strong majority of executive promotion decisions are assisted by a variety of cognitive, behavioral, simulation and motivational tests.
• Many simulation and psychological assessments have no right answer and candidates seeking to tell interviewers what they want to hear can skew results.
• Candidates eager to learn about themselves through the process demonstrate a desirable trait for employers.

Summative and Formative Assessments
• Summative assessments are attempts to summarize a candidate's learning at a point in time. – They provide valuable information to test makers to help shape future
organization of content provision but may also lead to the test takers avoiding difficult learning to seek shortcuts to the "right answer".
• The goal of formative assessments is to encourage candidates to reflect on their learning progress. – In order to create a test that emphasizes formative assessments, test makers
focus on a more interactive process whereby they can provide continuous feedback and advice for improvement.
– Dynamic assessment demonstrates current comprehension but can also reveal a test taker's learning potential - their ability to absorb and integrate instruction and specific areas where further personalized assistance might be necessary.

Summative and Formative Assessments
• Many have found solutions to these issues by using the services of an online exam maker.
• This can allow for the creation of multiple question banks, a database of potential test questions that can be organized by subject, objective or level of difficulty.
• These can be arranged in several combinations or randomization options to discourage cheating and once sufficient questions are accumulated, the system can automatically generate various tests.

Reviewing the Test
• Test results may be immediately viewed upon completion with a number of post-test assessments available to compare with a database of previous results and focus improvement efforts. – By eliminating manual grading while having instant access to a multitude of
reports and comparisons, employers can more efficiently allocate their resources to select the best candidates possible.
– Most importantly, they can focus on their task at hand: making sure the candidate or employee is the best fit for the position.
• When measuring changes between pre- and post-test, it is important that the conditions of delivery are similar so that differences can be attributed to changes in participants' attitudes or learning.

Reviewing the Test
• Post-test reviews are ideal to encourage improvement and measure progress.
• Whatever method you use, tests are a great way to assess the present state of a candidate or worker.
• Reviewing the results is a great time to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your employee, how they interpret their own job duties, and perhaps identify ways to tweak their role within the company to improve productivity and overall employee satisfaction.
