An
event that occurs in almost
every class one takes in
school. You sit down and
answer a set of
questions, and the number you get
correct determine your
score, which is
supposed to show your
knowledge of the
subject that the test was on. However, this is not always
correct, because it's been shown that the
format of the test can
affect the scores, while it doesn't affect the knowledge.
Different from a quiz because it is of more importance.
Also, what they tell you it is right before setting off the fire alarm so that you don't have the stampede and people getting hurt that a real one would be.
