Usage Notes

评估 is a formal term used in professional, academic, and medical contexts. It is more systematic and comprehensive than 评价 (píngjià), which means "to comment on" or "to evaluate" in a more general sense. 评估 often implies a structured process with measurable criteria.

Memory Hook

评 (to comment/judge) + 估 (to estimate/appraise) — to comment and estimate the value of something is to evaluate it.
