<p>I believe the prefix you're looking for is <em>per</em>.  In latin, <em>pre</em> means "in front of", <em>per</em> means "through" and <em>post</em> means behind.</p>

A "per-test" eh? Ever seen that used? Google seems to think I am searching for "per test", as in, "One cookie per test only please."

I haven't heard "per-test" in the wild, but the linguistically speaking, the progression is "pre-per-post", so you *could* use it and it would make sense.  Frankly, though, I'd just say "pre-test", "test" and "post-test".

<p>We term pre-test as the data collection/measures before conducting an experiment and post-test is data collection/measures after the experiment. How do we term the process of data collection/measures during the experiment (such as physiological measures)? I am looking for a specific "term" to describe the "during-test" event.</p>

"Test", perhaps?

About the only things I could find called them intermediary or ongoing assessment testing.

People use a wide range of language to describe measurement points in repeated measures design.

For example if you measured some dependent variable on multiple occasions you might have something like:

1. baseline (B)
2. treatment week 1 (T1)
3. treatment week 2 (T2)
4. post treatment (F0)
5. six month follow up (F6)
6. one year follow (F12)

Obviously such a design has aspects that are consistent with a pre-post test design, but it has more time points than just that. So my suggestion is to just have clear descriptive labels for the measurement points.
