cumulative exam

Covers everything learned

A cumulative exam tests material from an entire course rather than just a recent unit.

Unlike regular tests covering only the latest chapter, a cumulative exam—typically given as a midterm or final—requires students to retain and synthesize everything learned: The cumulative final covers all twelve chapters.
