This experimental study aimed to evaluate the impact of formative assessments accompanied by immediate feedback on the academic performance of undergraduate medical students at a tertiary medical institution. A total of 300 second-year medical students were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A received conventional teaching with formative assessments and delayed feedback, while Group B underwent formative assessments integrated with immediate verbal and written feedback during the learning process. Academic performance was assessed through standardized multiple-choice question (MCQ) tests administered pre-intervention and post-intervention over a 12-week period. Group B demonstrated statistically significant improvement in mean test scores (mean ± SD: 78.5 ± 6.2) compared to Group A (72.1 ± 7.5; p < 0.001). Moreover, student engagement and self-reported confidence in clinical reasoning improved markedly in Group B. These findings indicate that formative assessment with immediate feedback significantly enhances knowledge acquisition and academic
