Özet

Testing is an indispensable part of all educational processes. Even in foreign language teaching it has an important place. Exams have different functions from grading students' success in the language to evaluating the efficiency of the foreign language education. On the other hand, exams are the issues that are not wanted by the students willingly. Especially when they get lower grades, they discuss the necessity of them. They believe that during the exams they cannot show their real performances because of the test anxiety or other factors. They also criticize test types which they find difficult and do not manage to do.
