comprehension tests

Understanding check quizzes

Comprehension tests measure how well someone understands what they have read or heard.

They typically follow a passage or text with questions that probe whether the reader grasped main ideas, details, inferences, and vocabulary in context.

Such tests are staples of educational assessment from elementary school through graduate admissions.

The reading comprehension test asked students to identify the author's main argument.
