Abstract: This paper evaluates the classroom-based assessment within the primary schools in Singapore and the potential tension between summative and formative assessment practices. In addition, it provides recommendations to minimize the tension, including developing teacher assessment competencies and reinforcing bite-sized assessment as part of holistic learning. The paper concludes with some challenges teachers face in assessment practices during and after the Covid 19- pandemic.
