achievement tests
Academic performance measures
Achievement tests measure what someone has learned in a specific subject or skill area, as opposed to aptitude tests, which attempt to measure potential or capacity to learn.
Schools administer achievement tests to evaluate mastery of curriculum: The district's reading achievement tests showed gains across all grade levels.
