practical exam
Skills demonstration assessment
A practical exam tests hands-on skills rather than theoretical knowledge.
Students demonstrate competence by performing tasks—dissecting specimens in biology, administering injections in nursing, executing parallel parking in a driving test.
Also called a practical or, in British usage, a prac: I have my chemistry practical tomorrow.
