The Characteristic of Cloze test • Cloze test items consist of words that are deleted
from a text after allowing a few sentences of introduction.
• The deletion rate is mechanically set, usually between every 5th and 8th.
• Candidates have to fill each gap by supplying the words they think has been deleted

• Easy to construct and easy to score if the exact-word scoring method is applied.
• With the 5th word deletion, a large number of items can be taken on a relatively a short text
• It is claimed as a valid measure for reading comprehension test.

The Definition of C-Test• The C-test is an adaptation of the cloze technique that has
been developed by Christinee Klein-Braley and Ulrich Raatz in 1983.
• Weir (1990:49) claims that C-test is based on the same theoretical rationale as cloze.
• In C-test, “the rule of two” has been applied: the second half of every second word has been deleted, beginning with the second word of the second sentence; the first and last sentences are left intact.

The Advantages of C-Test• In C-test, a variety of texts are
recommended. A short text can be formed a large numbers of items.
• The correction of the task can be objectively scored as it is rare to have more than one answer.
• The results are encouraging in terms of reliability and validity.

The Disadvantages of C-Test
• The face validity is low because there are many blanks.
• If the isolated words are difficult, the test takers concentrate their mind in guessing the vocabulary instead of comprehending the text.

The differences between Cloze test and C-test
In cloze test, the first sentence is left intact without any blanks. The fixed deletion cloze is a cloze passage where every nTH word in the passage is deleted. In the cloze passage above, n=5 means that every fifth word after the first sentence is deleted.

C-test also involve mechanical deletion but it is every second word which is mutilated. Half of each mutilated word remains in the texts in order to give the candidate a clue as to what is missing. If the whole word has an even number of letters, then exactly half are missing. For example, to = t_ .While for uneven number of letters, one more than half are missing. For instance, the = t_ _ .
