Activity assessment Vs Standardized Test

After teaching a lesson, is it okay to evaluate students through a lab activity or does it have to be a standardized test? Which would benefit students most?

Hello Aneth, I believe that although lab activities can be used as a form of formative assessements, generally they are used as a way to teach the students the material while standardized tests are used as summative assessements to check how much the students have learned.
