When is a formative test typically administered?

At the end of a training program
During the training to evaluate the final outcomes
After a significant period of training to assess retention
During the training to make decisions to improve the learning process

The correct answer is: During the training to make decisions to improve the learning process

A formative test is designed to be administered during the training process to assess learners' understanding and progress and to make informed decisions about the instructional process. This type of testing helps identify areas where learners may be struggling, allowing trainers or educators to adjust their teaching strategies, materials, or pacing based on the immediate feedback provided by the test results. The primary goal is to enhance learning outcomes and provide ongoing support to students throughout the training. In contrast, other options refer to assessment types that occur either at the end of a program or after considerable training, which do not align with the formative approach. These assessments focus more on evaluating cumulative knowledge or retention rather than facilitating real-time improvements in learning.
