The original community if this research consisted of (49) achievement tests of different modules that were carried out in the Arabic language Department during the years (2012-2018).

The list was presented to a group of evaluators to ensure its validity, and the constant was extracted by calculating the coefficient (Alpha Cronbach). The statistical treatments indicated a set of results, the most important of which are:

1. Most of the tests (96.6%) were written in a clear language.
2. The percentage of tests measuring the ability of students to practice various mental processes was (83.4%).
3. Some graduate professors focus on essay questions within their tests rather than preparing objective questions.
