I will discuss several tests to gauge the accuracy of pre–main-sequence (PMS) models. Methods to determine the mass of young stars are overviewed, with emphasis on the information provided by double-lined, spectroscopic binary systems. A comparison of the dynamically determined masses with those estimated using the PMS models of Palla & Stahler (1999) is presented. Good agreement between empirical and theoretical masses is found. The analysis of the inferred ages from the isochrones shows a remarkable coevality within each binary system. A complete assessment of the accuracy of PMS tracks needs the identification of eclipsing systems of low-mass.
