• It provides immediate feedback to the teachers who can then decide whether a particular unit or concept needs re-teaching in the whole class or whether a few individuals are in need of remedial instruction so that they can modify the curriculum accordingly.
• It creates interest among the learners for studies and ensures all-around development of students including cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains.
