California College students are tested frequently. Frequent testing enables the Academic Quality Controllers to monitor students› performance and pinpoint gaps that need to be filled to secure a solid foundation on which to build further knowledge. Testing trains students in sustained mental effort for long periods of time: a training that is essential for future success. Testing also reinforces knowledge and prepares students to successfully face and tackle difficult situations under pressure. At the end of the academic year, this information is combined with the end-of-year examinations to determine whether or not the student is promoted to the next grade level.
