How it's used
Refers specifically to smaller, mid-term assessments rather than major final exams. It is common to pair this with the verb 溫 to describe the act of preparing for it. Unlike formal written Chinese, it is almost exclusively used in academic or training contexts.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 考試, which refers to a major final exam or a high-stakes public examination. Using 測驗 for a final exam will sound like you are downplaying the importance of the event.
