Placement tests help teachers assess students' mastery of material and determine appropriate instructional modifications. These assessments identify students' current skills and knowledge levels, ensuring they are placed in suitable courses or programs. While they provide objective insights into learners' strengths and weaknesses, they can be time-consuming and may focus more on cognitive knowledge than practical skills.
