A unit test is a test which is constructed, administered and
assessed by a teacher after teaching a particular unit to the students.
Characteristics of Unit test:
1. Unit test is an
Evaluation tool for measurement of pupils and knowledge achievement and to improve
by giving feed back.
2. It is based on a
single unit.
3. It is administered at
the completions of the unit.
4. It is clear from the
above evidence that a unit testing is an integral part of teaching process.
Unit testing makes instruction a dynamic process through continuous evaluation
