Through a deep analysis of current testing practices, it identifies existing issues in test content, format, and assessment criteria, while proposing solutions combined with domestic and international developments in language assessment. Using a test paper for eighth-grade midterm examinations as a case study, the research reveals systemic limitations and presents targeted enhancement measures. These include optimizing content authenticity, diversifying assessment formats, and establishing more scientific and objective evaluation criteria. The findings provide both theoretical frameworks and practical guidance for developing communicative competence in English language testing in secondary education.
