Progress Test (PrT) is a longitudinal assessment strategy in which tests composed of contents from all the curriculum are periodically applied to all students of a course. Such strategy allows measurement of deep, long-lasting meaningful learning as well as early detection and remediation of underperforming students. It was introduced more than forty years ago, and it has been used in several health schools in the world, especially medicine. Assessment of students' knowledge gain and its application over the course is a challenge. PrT has become a relevant method to monitor the development of the student through graduation. There is no culture of using longitudinal assessments in Brazil's pharmacyschools. This scenario is an opportunity for use of PrT. The objective of this work is to make a literature review about how progress test has been used in context of education. The authors also discuss the possibilities of PrT's application in Pharmacy undergraduate courses in Brazil. PrT has a long history of use by various institutions in the world. Most user experiences come from medical schools, but there are articles showing the application of PrT in dentistry and psychology schools. PrT has been shown to be an effective assessment tool in a problem-based (PBL) and traditional curricula. PrT is recommended as a tool to longitudinal assesses growth in knowledge. Phamacy schools may develop their own framework for PrT collaborations, which could optimize the educational utility of student's assessment instruments as tools to enhance learning.

“…Estas questões foram divididas em seis áreas de conhecimento: Pediatria (20), Clínica Médica (20), Ginecologia e Obstetrícia (15), Clínica Cirúrgica (20), Saúde Coletiva (9), Áreas Básicas (16). Estes Testes de Progresso foram organizados pelo Comitê de Avaliação Cognitiva, que é responsável pela solicitação dos testes de múltipla escolha aos professores, análise dos testes e, quando necessário, sugestão de modificações nas questões junto aos professores responsáveis.…”

Progress Test is an objective assessment, consisting of 60 to 150 multiple-choice questions, designed to promote an assessment of the cognitive skills expected at the end of undergraduate school. This test is applied to all students on the same day, so that it is possible to compare the results between grades and analyze the development of knowledge performance throughout the course. This study aimed to carry out a systematic and literary review about Progress Test in medical schools in Brazil and around the world, understanding the benefits of its implementation for the development of learning for the student, the teacher and the institution. The study was carried out from July 2018 to April 2019, which addressed articles published from January 2002 to March 2019. The keywords used were: “Progress Test in Medical Schools” and “Item Response Theory in Medicine” in the PubMed, Scielo, and Lilacs platforms. There was no language limitation in article selection, but the research was carried out in English. A total of 192,026 articles were identified, and after applying advanced search filters, 11 articles were included in the study. The Progress Test (PTMed) has been applied in medical schools, either alone or in groups of partner schools, since the late 1990s. The test results build the students’ performance curves, which allow us to identify weaknesses and strengths of the students in the several areas of knowledge related to the course. The Progress Test is not an exclusive instrument for assessing student performance, but it is also important as an assessment tool for academic management use and thus, it is crucial that institutions take an active role in the preparation and analysis of this assessment data. Assessments designed to test clinical competence in medical students need to be valid and reliable. For the evaluative method to be valid it is necessary that the subject be extensively reviewed and studied, aiming at improvements and adjustments in test performance.
