ENNowadays, the question of the use of an open-ended test item is undeservedly left out of the field of vision of the pedagogical association. The author of the article explains this fact on the basis of different views on testing among the researchers in humanitarian arts from one point of view and in the exact or natural sciences from the other point of view. It is stated that the point of the problem of an open-ended test item is connected only with the difficulties of their standardization and creation of the basis for interpretation, which is a necessary condition for any test item. The author thinks that it is quite possible. Thus, this article theoretically shows the necessity of working out an open-ended test item as well as the table of measurement for its evaluation.

As the author thinks, only scientifically prepared, standardized and probated table of measurements is the only unbiased control method of a student’s written work, therefore, a lesson summary in such a case is rightfully called a test item fulfilment. In connection with this, using the method of expert assessments, the author worked out the table of measurements in which the requirements for the lesson summary were enumerated as well as the estimated characteristics were listed.The experiments on preparation, approbation and implementation of test material in the pedagogical control, described in the article, were done during five years in Lithuania and Russia on the basis of the Departments of Russian Language at the LUES, VU, SPSU, HSPUR, NILC where future teachers of RFL get their Bachelor’s degree.
