practicals
Lab-based skill assessments
Practicals are hands-on examinations or exercises, especially in sciences and technical fields, where students demonstrate skills rather than write about them: I've got chemistry practicals next week.
The term is common in British education.
In theater and film, practicals are light fixtures visible on set that actually work, as opposed to purely decorative props.
