# Creating an Assessment Window

An assessment window marks the date range in which teachers are expected to administer specific tests. For example, you have already scheduled units within a course, and you want teachers to check for understanding at the end of each unit. You can create an assessment window that spans the last three days of the unit to allow for flexibility in administering the test. You can also use assessment windows to set aside time for state tests, benchmarks, or any other type of assessment.
