get there. (According to Black and Willam, 1998).For example this assessment occurs at the end of
learning unit and can also be accompanied by a number or letter grade. It is one of the powerful ways of
improving learning and raising standards. It focus on the gap between where a learner is in his or her
learning and where he or she needs to be thus the desired goal. This can be achieved through processes
such as sharing criteria with learners, effective questioning and feedback. It result in assessment that
