Abstract

Teachers must create a comprehensive assessment system that is relevant to the students. EFL teachers should design and use assessments according to the needs of students. Assessment is essential to improve the quality of the course. I think placement tests help teachers to measure students’ ability to learn the English language. However, some scholars don’t agree with that theory. Hughes and Scott-Clayton (2011) stressed that teachers should prepare and develop placement tests that yield accurate results of students while assessing their performance in colleges. I chose an existing midterm test that was used at the end of the first semester among college students in Andijan professional college of tourism and service. I criticized the drawbacks of the test and modified it according to the five principles of Brown (2004).
