Progress testing is a method of assessing applied medical knowledge and is being used for summative assessment in many medical schools internationally. It has been found to be of benefit to students, fostering deep learning strategies and significant growth in knowledge, vocabulary and clinical reasoning through frequent testing and the use of feedback to enhance student progress. Universities also benefit from the comprehensive longitudinal data about students, cohorts and curriculum performance that progress tests generate. Few limitations are outlined in the literature, and these appear to be ameliorated through careful planning. The medical program at the University of Auckland is currently being re-designed, and it is intended that progress testing will be implemented to assess applied medical knowledge during Years 2–6 of the program. As progress tests are set at the level of a graduating doctor and are independent of the curriculum, it is possible that the establishment of progress testing could foster collaboration and benchmarking between universities in New Zealand and Australia.
