The aim of this paper is to give an overview of foreign language testing in Serbia, its current state and possible steps towards implementing a unified standard and the long-term benefits such a unification would bring to the quality of language testing and foreign language education in general. This, coupled with the fact that such a standard would prevent redundant testing and the unnecessary waste of effort by both teachers and students, makes setting standards a necessity and not an option.
