Tato publikace se zabývá použitím testových strategií v testech poslechu a čtení v angličtině. Testové strategie jsou strategie, které testovaní studenti používají u testových úloh, když se vypořádávají s jazykovými problémy a tím, jak odpověď na úlohu zpracovat. Tyto strategie byly zkoumány v kontextu standardizovaných zkoušek z anglického jazyka podle NATO STANAG 6001. Výzkum ukázal, že byly použity čtyři typy testových strategií, a to žákovské strategie, strategie managementu testu, strategie opírající se o zkušenost s testy a afektivní strategie. Byl vytvořen model zapojení testových strategií při zpracování odpovědi na testovou úlohu. Dále byl zjištěn určitý vliv použití testových strategií na výsledky testů, analýza odhalila dopady jednotlivých strategií.
