A practical test is an assessment that requires students to demonstrate their skills or knowledge through hands-on tasks rather than written questions. It is commonly used in subjects where practical experience is important, such as science, engineering, art, or healthcare. During a practical test, students are expected to perform tasks, conduct experiments, or solve real-world problems in a controlled environment. The goal is to assess their ability to apply what they have learned in a practical setting and to show competence in performing specific skills or techniques.
