Popis: Material and methods. To achieve the target goal, before passing the module control on the subjects "Oncology" and "Radiation Medicine", an evaluation of computer-based testing with the participation of 206 students of the 5th year on the specialties "General Medicine" and "Pediatrics" was conducted. The evaluation on "Oncology" included 824 questions designed for 90 guided learning hours per subject, and on "Radiation Medicine" — 306 questions for 45 guided learning hours per subject. The correct answers to 90% of questions and more was estimated by rating — "5", 80–90% — "4", 60–80% — "3". The oral response of students was evaluated by the same teachers throughout the entire module control, according to the evaluation criteria provided by the relevant study programs. Results. Summing up the results of the study it should be noted that testing is quite important in assessing the level of knowledge of students during the final module control. However, according to the results of the study, it is necessary to determine the optimal number of questions in which the difference in the number of points compared with the oral answer will be unreliable, regardless of the total number of hours devoted to the study of the subject. Conclusions. Consequently, the objectivity of assessing the level of knowledge of students, on the final modular control, depends on the number of test tasks.
