Testing has always remained at the core of the language learning because it helps decide the level of the learners. Language Testing has witnessed very significant developments in recent years. This has, in turn, led to a major reconsideration of the way language tests are designed, written, analyzed, administered, scored, and used. World testing bodies, therefore, constantly strive to keep up with such developments so that they can offer more reliable and effective examinations. Wilson Taylor’s cloze test is one such work on the testing of reading ability of the target group. The present paper analyses various techniques used by the testees to fill in the blanks in the cloze passages given to them. The study was undertaken to ascertain the reliability and validity of cloze test as a test to test reading ability as an ongoing process. The study reveals that as compared to other reading comprehension test, a cloze test is much more reliable. However, there are instances wherein the testees have been found to give correct answer without comprehending the passages. Keywords: cloze test, reading ability, test-wiseness techniques, language testing
