Cross-classification of assessment purpose by subject domain (Table 5) in the review of 449 studies. The review reports summative assessment "was used relatively often" in ICT (54.29%), engineering (52.63%), and health and welfare (54.72%).

"In most studies, the purpose of assessment was formative ( n = 257; 59.08%). In a substantial number of studies, the purpose of assessment was summative ( n = 157; 36.09%)"
