Correct answer: (D) A remedial programme can be adopted on the basis of feedback from the results

Explanation

A time-bound testing programme should be implemented so that a remedial programme can be adopted from feedback on results.

Regular tests reveal learning gaps that targeted remediation can then address.

Informing parents of progress is a useful by-product, not the core purpose of testing.

Carrying out regular practice is a benefit but does not use the results diagnostically.

Training students for final examinations makes the test a rehearsal, not a corrective tool.

Using results to guide remediation is the feedback loop at the heart of formative evaluation.
