This question is incomplete. The options for this question are:

A) Aptitude

B) Diagnostic

C) Formative

D) Summative

A summative test is used to evaluate the student learning at the conclusion of a defined instructional period (usually at the end of a course or semester). Usually this test is compared to another standard or previous test made at the beginning of the course.

In this example, Mr. Rumstead gave a formative test at the beginning of the semester. At the end of the course he gave the same test to determine grades. This test was used at the end of the semester to evaluate the class learning, therefore, we can say that this test was used as a summative test.
