Modern tests are multilevel and do not depend on teaching methods or a teacher. With the help of them,
all four types of student activities are tested - reading, listening, speaking and writing. When working
with tests, it is necessary to take into account what is being tested and what types of work this is
achieved.
In the scientific and methodological journal "English in school" I. A. Kukushkina in her article offers
the following classification of tests. Speech tests to test writing, speaking, reading and listening skills.
A separate group can be divided into lexical and grammatical tests that test the skills of vocabulary and
grammar. [5, p. 18].
In turn, lexical and grammatical tests can be divided into lexical and grammatical.
1.Lexical tests check the skills of spelling, word formation, distinguishing words that are similar in
meaning or spelling, that is, synonyms and homonyms.
2.Grammar tests test the skills of proficiency in various grammatical phenomena, namely:
-The use of the tenses of the English language in the active and passive voice;
- Agreement of times;
- The use of impersonal forms of the verb, gerund, infinitive and infinitive constructions and participial
expressions [8, p. 202].

information presented in writing. The most common types of tests: texts with gaps (close tests) and
texts with various tasks [10, p. 291].
There are also listening tests. Listening in itself is considered a rather difficult type of work that requires
a lot of attention and concentration. These tests check the level of understanding and extraction of
information from the oral message, and also help the teacher control the ability of students to extract
specific and factual information from the listened; identify speakers, their names, dates and times; to
establish a connection between ideas of cause and effect, the order of events, comparisons. They also
show the ability to follow oral instructions and instructions, as well as make conclusions and
conclusions [11, p. 154].
Speaking tests, check the communication skills of students, as well as the command of vocabulary; the
ability of students to express their opinions, assess, generalize, answer questions and ask them, with
the correct intonation to respond to remarks and remarks. It is also important that these tests allow
