Assessment is part of the learning process. Assessment helps students to become more knowledgeable, critical, competent and responsive. Through assessment, the teacher can develop the competencies or talents possessed by each student. The competencies expected and mastered by students after the teaching and learning process are competency, attitudes, skills and knowledge. One emphasis in the 2013 curriculum is authentic assessment, where the assessment carried out is not only the end result but also the process during the learning process.
