This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
This unit mostly focused on different kinds of tests and their purposes. Then it went over the many different kinds of external tests, which is a useful reference. Honestly, some of the information here seemed pretty obvious. Hardly anything new. I think the most useful things from this section were the example test and the list of external tests.
I am surprised the unit didn't spend more time on flaws with testing. When I taught in Japan, all the tests were dictated by the prefecture, not the teacher or school. So if a school missed a day due to some disaster, and didn't have time to teach a particular unit, too bad. That unit would be on the test anyway, since the teacher couldn't change it. Those kinds of problems, and what can be done about them, are what I really want to learn more about.
