Abstract: From the three furctions of test,some problems existing in the respect of the test system in universities and colleges in China were analysed in this paper.A view point is put forward that since the present test systems in many colleges stress on the test of text contents and knowlogy and neglect the diagnostic test of the student's learning procedures,so the final test become the only means of evaluating the teaching and learning results,which undermines greatly the real function of test of improving the teaching guality.So,the knowledgy-orienting test should be replaced by ability orienting test.The test freguency should be increased and a scientific evaluation system should be set up to embody the practicse function of test.
