Tests belongs to the most important approach in the process of verification and validation of students knowledge. The paper describes principles of students testing, which we used in the course of programming. Students were provided with two different kinds of tests: self-tests and evaluation tests for credit. Into the credit evaluation test we incorporate principle, where student for incorrect answer gets negative points. This principle has a strong influence on student behavior in tests and the difference between students behavior in normal and our evaluation tests is described. The utilization of the outcome of statistic and data mining evaluation of answers ? in the meaning of hard and easy test questions together with typical path through the course ? for the purpose of updating existing course and test and preparation of recommended path is shown.
