Formative tests are designed to improve the learning process by providing ongoing feedback throughout the educational or training experience. This type of assessment allows both instructors and learners to identify strengths and areas that need improvement during the learning process rather than at its conclusion. Continuous feedback encourages adjustments in teaching and studying methods, fostering a more supportive and dynamic learning environment. This approach helps learners engage with the material more effectively and can lead to improved outcomes over time.

In contrast, formative tests do not function as definitive evaluations of what students know against a standard, are administered multiple times to gauge progress rather than only once, and do not focus solely on the final results, but rather on the development and skill acquisition over the duration of the training program.
