title: The quarterly profile examination.
abstract: In sum, a school-wide examination such as the QPE can be used successfully. As a longitudinal, comprehensive testing system based on the objectives of the educational program, the QPE can satisfy internal and external requirements for assessment. Such an examination system could be an effective evaluation instrument for schools fostering problem-based and independent learning by students.
