As far as the quality of the reading test conducted by the teacher is concerned, the results of the scoring scale show that the teacher’s first reading test is considered poor and good because the passing scores of the test are 69 and 87 respectively. With scores of 51 and 56, reading test number two created by the teacher of English was deemed inadequate. The third teacher's reading test score was 81, so he was considered very good. Other teachers' abilities in test creation have not been effectively utilized in terms of test design, relevance, balance, efficiency, validity, reliability, adequacy of test items, and technical voice of reading test. For reading test, English teachers should use authentic materials. The teacher is also suggested to use real text to create high-level comprehension problems. It is preferable to use a more comprehensive list as one of the study techniques in the future and to involve more participants. Keywords: Reading test; competence; criteria; process of constructing.
