A cloze test is a tool used for measuring a student's comprehension of a particular text. In this type of assessment, gaps are left in the text, and the student is required to fill in the missing words. There are several synonyms for the term "cloze test" which include "fill-in-the-blanks" test, "completion" test, or "contextual" test. The aim of the cloze test is to evaluate the student's ability to understand the context of the text, their vocabulary, as well as their ability to make inferences based on the knowledge presented. These tests are commonly used in language proficiency exams and standardized testing to assess a student's ability to read and comprehend text.
