#TypesofTests There are six different types of tests. 1- Placement Test: It is used to place new students in the right class in a school. It assesses students’ productive and receptive skills and designed to show how good a student is in English in relation to a previously agreed system of levels. 2- Diagnostic Test: It is used to discover student problems, difficulties or deficiencies in a course. We use this type of tests to know students’ strengths and weaknesses so as to be able to do something about them. 3- Progress/Achievement Test: It is designed to measure students’ language and their skill progress in relation to the syllabus they have been following. This type is directly related to language courses and done during the course. 4- Final Progress/Achievement Test: Students do this test at the end of the course to measure students’ achievement of the course objectives or goals. 5- Proficiency Test: It is not necessarily based on certain courses that students may have previously taken. Most students take this type of test to admit to a foreign university, get a job, or obtain some kind of certificate. Teachers design this test to measure students’ knowledge and ability in a language. 6- Aptitude Test: Teachers design this test to discover whether a student has a talent or basic ability for learning a new language or not.
