To say that assessment is an indispensable part of teaching / learning 
process is stating the obvious. The existing body of research has helped 
educators to take a more critical look at summative assessment, with for-
mative assessment, also called ‘assessment for learning’ (e.g., Black and 
William 
), taking the position of the kind of assessment truly condu-
cive to learning. 
However, despite the research 
fi
ndings and the prominent role given 
to assessment in a number of books on teaching English to young learners 
(Cameron 
, Halliwell 
, Moon 
, Rixon
), there is evi-
dence suggesting that language teachers of young learners are not skilled 
in assessment (Edelenbos and Johnstone 
, Enever 
, Nikolov , 
). This could be one of the reasons why formative assessment still 
prevails in mainstream foreign language education, sometimes taking the 
form of large–scale tests, which provide a quick way of collecting com-
parable data used as ‘non–refutable evidence for accountability purpos-
es’(McKay, 
, p.
), but may not necessarily be an appropriate tool 
for young learners.
This paper will look at how appropriate is large–scale standardised 
testing for young learners, based on a new primary school leaving exam 
in English, administered to Polish 
–year olds in April 
for the 
fi
rst 
time. The way pupils approach exam tasks will be analysed and appro-
priacy of exam tasks to young learners’ developmental pro
fi
le will be dis-
cussed. Young learners’ voices will also be taken into account to 
fi
nd out 
how the intended main bene
fi
ciaries of test–taking view the process.
