To achieve the target result in language learning, it is important to constantly monitor the quality of knowledge and determine the level of knowledge. Such control is carried out through testing. On the one hand, the test serves as an effective tool that promotes the activation of reading activity, and on the other hand determines the level of formation of communicative competence. The results of the tests allow you to create a rating scale that clearly reflects the success in learning a language; contribute to increasing the educational and cognitive motivation of the language learner.

Reading is the most commonly used of all types of speech activity skill that needs to be developed first. If so, how to improve reading skills, which are considered the basis of language learning? How to evaluate your personal achievements by reading skills? What are the best learning strategies to use in order to better pass the test that determines the level of language proficiency?

When a language learner clearly understands the purpose of performing reading tasks, he/she can correctly choose the necessary learning strategy and achieve high results in passing the test. In this research article, we aim to analyze the tasks of the Kaztest system of the test type used in the assessment of reading skills. The system of exercises in the textbooks of the Kazakh language used in the preparatory work for the reading subtest has been considered. As a result of this analysis, we have proposed learning strategies that should be used when performing reading tasks.
