Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value.

Detailed explanation-2: -Formative and Summative Assessment While formative assessment is the evaluation of learning as it takes place (e.g., quizzes), summative assessments are evaluations of what a student has learned at the end of a given period (e.g., semester or training course).

Detailed explanation-3: -Summative assessment examples: End-of-term or midterm exams. Cumulative work over an extended period such as a final project or creative portfolio. End-of-unit or chapter tests. Standardised tests that demonstrate school accountability are used for pupil admissions; SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Summative assessment – evaluation – comes at the end of learning, while formative assessment provides information and support during the learning. Summative assessment aims to evaluate what students know, can do, and can articulate at a given point in time. This evaluation is reported verbally or in writing to others.
