Definition
测验 (cèyàn) means 'to test' or 'a test' specifically in educational/academic settings — a quiz, exam, or assessment of knowledge. Contrast this with 测试 (cèshì), which is broader: testing equipment, software, or a person's skills (e.g., a driving test), and 试验 (shìyàn), which means 'to experiment' or 'a trial'. The noun 测验 is countable with measure words 次 and 个.
