I elaborated the diagnostic test with those items , following

the previous knowledge from Plans and programs of the
MINEDUC which says that in 8th grade of elementary school
, students should have as a prior knowledge, the present
simple so in that context I created 5 items in which students
can demonstrate how much they know or have acquire from
previous years in the English subject and if they are meeting
the standards that the MINEDUC has stipulated in the plans
and programs.
Also, I created an Oral English test based on the levels of
English that a student must have in this level. According to
that, I designed different A1 questions to students and see if
they complete or demonstrate their knowledge in terms of
speaking section. As a part of the Oral English test I
designed a simple rubric to evaluate the speaking part.
