I would say a positive impact. Formative assessment allows both the teacher and the student to see where they may be gaps in knowledge and then this can be rectified and can give confidence to the student before summative assessment is done.

Formative assessments can also highlight to the teacher where deliver methods of the subject matter are being successful or not and this can then be adapted for those learners where needed.

Hi, I think its very Important " Formative Assessment" as can identify any support that may be required and also promote inclusive learning for students needing the support.
