Testing, i.e. exam, can evaluate how comprehensive a student has understood a particular subject and mastered the necessary knowledge. In the meantime, subjects of arts and subjects of science may require totally different ways for testing. In order to realize the testing objective of scientific subjects, different methods should be applied in the test. For example, multiple-choice questions are good for assessing the basic points of a subject by mixing solutions with false ones. Then simple questions can be given to test the student’s capability of solving problems that are related with only one or two elements in the subject. At the end of the test, one or two advanced or difficult questions can be used to demonstrate the student’s skill of applying multiple elements together to solve a problem. However, testing methods for subjects of arts may use one method only. For instance, writing an essay is the typical way for testing a student’s skill in English writing class. Doing a small project and giving a short presentation is a good way for pushing students to dig up the real story in history class. No matter what kinds of testing methods are used, it is necessary for them to assess the knowledge comprehensively and deeply.
