Therefore, those interested in education are keen to find and develop this important tool at all times. The Arabic Curriculum for Teaching Arabic for Non-Native Speakers (the first version) is one of the most advanced curricula used in some private schools in Pattani, southern Thailand. The Curriculum is divided into three levels (Beginner, intermediate and advanced). The student studies three books in the same order.

This test is the field of this study, which the researcher deals with in description and analysis, to find its specifications in terms of honesty and objectivity and his ability to measure various levels of language skills. The researcher reached the following results: The test was characterized by focusing on the lower cognitive levels (memory and perception), and this may be appropriate to the objective for which it is.
