Outline

Text

Progress testing in the Netherlands has a long history. It started at first in one medical school with a problem based learning curriculum from the beginning. Later other schools with and without PBL curricula jointed. At present approximately 10,000 students sit a test every three months. The progress test is not a single test. It consists of a series of tests which in the end are summative. The unique aspect of how to build a joint test with 5 different schools and what is needed to apply and analyze it and how students can profit from it will be presented.
