The article examines descriptive geometry as one of the fundamental academic disciplines that develop visual thinking, as well as the intuition of a future specialist, which is necessary for any creative activity, especially engineering and scientific ones. With the increase of the scientific information volume and emergence of the new disciplines in the curricula of higher technical educational institutions, the number of academic hours connected with the study of descriptive geometry decreases, the improvement of the teaching theory and methods of descriptive geometry on the basis of the new information technologies that activate the educational activity of students and develop their creative abilities. In these conditions, it is of great importance to determine which of the new teaching methods greatly affect teaching descriptive geometry and their further introduction into the educational process. Therefore it is necessary to apply innovative and scientifically grounded methods of current and final monitoring of students' knowledge. Lots of experts in the field of pedagogical qualimetry have distinguished the non-productive, non-objective, little diagnostic approaches to assessing the effectiveness of pedagogical activity that brakes the education system development. The problem of optimizing the content of the discipline taking into account the modern requirements is considered in the article.
Key words: Educational process testing system, entrance tests, scientifically based, effective way of current control, testing in computer form, final academic performance, standardized tests, comparison of academic performance, new information technology, automation of results processing, use automated check.
