annual exams

Once-per-year assessments

Annual exams are yearly checkups or evaluations.

In medicine, an annual exam is a routine physical with a doctor to assess overall health: I schedule my annual exam every January.

In education, annual exams are end-of-year tests covering a full year's coursework.

The phrase implies regularity—something done once per year as standard practice.
