A teacher and a student from the city of Semey developed a website that determines the level of knowledge of the state language

A 10th grade student of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey Ayaulym Khamitkhanova and teacher Symbat Mazhikov developed a test that determines at what level a person speaks the state language. In addition, a public site has been created for this test. They recently obtained copyright for this work. For more than a year and a half, the teacher and the student worked on the implementation of the project “QazUp – a test for determining the vocabulary of the Kazakh language”.

– The author of the project idea is teacher Symbat Mazhikov. The project is very relevant. After all, such projects, allowing to determine the level of knowledge of the language, have never been created. The QazUp test covers a range from the most frequently used words in the Kazakh language to the most rarely used. In addition, there are fictional words. This was done on purpose to confuse test takers. We cannot say that the test is easy. There are people who did not score a threshold score during the test, – says one of the authors of the project, Ayaulym Khamitkhanova.


The creators of the project note that the test is an indispensable tool for test takers in the state language. This is due to the fact that the QazUp test covers 30,000 words in the Kazakh language. Thanks to their project, the authors intend to contribute to the development of the state language.
