No EFL program can deny or ignore the significance of testing for evaluating learners' acquisitions of the target language. An important area of concern in testing is how students view their own achievements. Often students' expectations of test results differ from actual results. Students' grade expectations are often higher, which may negatively affect student motivation. This situation calls for raising students' awareness of their abilities. The focus of this article is testing writing in the EFL classroom. Specifically, it describes a study comparing students' expectations of grades with their actual grades earned for essays assigned in freshman english classes at the Lebanese American University. The results confirm a divergence between expected and actual grades, as has been reported in other research. The article concludes with implications for classroom teaching and testing.
