Designing a good test is one of the most important tasks in teaching a reading course. The objective of this article is to provide guidelines to help teachers to write valid reading comprehension tests. To achieve this, some important areas from the reading and testing literature must be considered. The work of Goodman (1967) made important contributions to the way in which we understand reading today. He rejected the notion that reading is a precise process of perception and identification and described it as a psycholinguistic guessing game. He suggested that the reader begins a reading task already possessing certain information, which allows her/him to pick up important fragments of the text in order to reconstruct it. The information that readers already possess is characterized as background knowledge. Authors like Coady (1979) described the role that such knowledge played in EFL/ESL reading.
