Differences in the final testing results of pupils between the two relatively close time instants

The objective of this study was to determine optimal time interval needed for the final testing of pupils. The sample consisted of 230 pupils (from 5 th to 8 th grade) in the Primary School of Zagreb. Anthropological characteristics were measured in 11 variables between the two relatively close time intervals. The first final measurement was conducted in April, and the second in June. Results between the time intervals were different, and analyses of differences has shown a great variability in accordance with continuous changes in anthropological characteristics in pupils of different age. On the basis of noticed variability in anthropological changes between the two time intervals, we have concluded that the most important for the final testing is, that it most always be conducted in the same time of the school year, and the accurate time can depend on the other factors.
