iSQI Exam TMMi-P_Syll2.1 Topic 4 Question 16 Discussion

One of the key differences between informal and formal assessments is that informal assessments are not as rigorous. Informal assessments are more flexible, quicker, and less costly; however, they do not provide the same level of detail or accuracy as formal assessments. The statement that 'informal assessments provide a result just as accurate as with a formal assessment' is therefore false. Formal assessments involve multiple types of evidence and a more thorough evaluation, while informal assessments typically rely on fewer types of evidence (often only interviews).
