ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the concerned with other aspects which could also form part of a record: profiled examination results, graded tests and credit accumulation. Most of the new ventures at the time of writing have sought to continue this trend of individualization and differentiation. Comprehensive records of personal achievement may cover all aspects of formal education: a portfolio ranging from performance in public examinations through various kinds of graded or modular tests used during the teaching process to the more personal and social attributes of the individual. But perhaps those who seek radical curriculum reform through the growth of personal and social education might be prepared to swallow the dictum that the curriculum should come first if it could be demonstrated that the new forms of assessment brought about the changes which they seek. The limitations of the attributes which are assessed, reported by examinations have been reiterated throughout this book; examinations report only a fragment of worthwhile human activity.
