Student assessment is an integral part of any teaching learning process. Assessment practices have a large number of functions to perform in the context of the teaching, learning process. This article challenges several myths about student assessment: that we know what we're grading, that we know what the results mean, that we can agree in practice on various criteria, which is possible to establish and apply unanimously. Despite these seeming difficulties, this article argues for the validity of assessments developed within particular academic environments in the higher learning institutes of Armenia.Do contemporary assessment practices perform these function: it is a critical question to be analysed. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the myths and realities of the assessment practice in the higher education sector.
