Abstract: Gamification of assessment is a developing approach for increasing motivation and engagement of learner’s by integrating game design elements in educational/assessment environments. With the growing popularity of gamification and the mixed success of its application in educational environments, the current review is aiming to shed a more realistic light on the research in this field by focusing on empirical evidence rather than on potentialities, beliefs or fondness. Accordingly, it thoroughly examines the advancement in gamifying the assessment. The discussion is structured around the used gamification mechanisms, the gamified subjects, types of gamified activities in assessing candidates, and the study goals, stressing on the reliability and validity of the reported outcomes

Keywords: Assessment, Engagement, Formative Assessment, Gamification, Gamifying Assessment, Learning, Performance, Students Motivation.
