This document discusses diagnostic testing and remedial teaching in education. It defines diagnostic testing as tests used by teachers to detect and analyze students' specific strengths and weaknesses in a subject. The goals of diagnostic tests are to pinpoint exact areas where a student is showing unsatisfactory progress and to accurately diagnose weaknesses, mistakes, and limitations. This allows teachers to understand the root causes of slow learning. The document emphasizes that remedial teaching, which aims to remedy defects through instructional creativity, should follow diagnostic testing. Some examples of remedial teaching strategies mentioned include repetition drills, substitution tables, and frequent testing to check for student improvement. Overall, the document promotes the use of diagnostic testing to inform individualized remedial instruction

setting of appropriate standards for test
evaluation, to provide best practice guidelines
for assessing the performance and
operational characteristics of diagnostic tests
for infections disease in population in which
