How it's used

Students often use this term to refer specifically to the mid-term or end-of-term assessments that contribute to the final grade. It carries a slightly more casual tone compared to the formal term 考試, which is often used in official school documents. In many local schools, it is distinguished from the final big examination, which is referred to as 大考.

Common mistake
