      Hi Tomomi

      You can find some definitions for the tests you talk about on this site, on the knowledge wiki:

      http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/knowledge-wiki/proficiency-test

      You can find more definitions, including one for validity, by using the A-Z index for the wiki here:

      I hope this is useful for you,
