Explanation

Formative assessment is meant to be continuous and ongoing to guide learning during instruction. 'Too frequent testing' is NOT recommended because it converts formative assessment into constant summative testing, creating stress and defeating its purpose of being low-stakes feedback for improvement rather than evaluation.
