Students' learning access needs to be evaluated through tests. The test format requires continuous development. The study seeks new test patterns for learning Arabic at MIN, especially in class IV. This research is qualitative with an experimental approach. This research offers a test format that is a development of the test that already exists in the Arabic language textbook at the Islamic Elementary Level of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, that is, a test in the form of proof of the existence of verbal and non-verbal language. From the experiment conducted on the students of the fourth grade in MIN 20 Aceh, it was found that the students found it easier to understand the Arabic that is in the textbook.
