for teaching concepts?

is the purpose purely to assess the student's ability? if teaching is a part of it too, i'm thinking of two ways of doing this:
1) material is taught before the student is tested
2) if the student gets questions wrong, the explanation for the correct answer is given

or should neither of these strategies be implemented, because it's purely test-taking?

  It's up to you if you'd like to include instruction or not, but you want to be sure that you're testing student understanding, not how well you've taught them to play the game.

  Similarly, it's okay to provide answers/hints/explanations as long as at the end you've still assessed what you intended to.

  Thanks!
