The study about washback effect in classroom tests is never done yet. Thus, this study focused on the EFL classroom tests which influenced the teaching and learning in the classroom practice. They conveyed what might occur in the strategies of teaching and learning because of the preparation for the test would expose the existence of washback effect. This research would be obtained through survey among the students and the teachers. In this survey, the questionnaires were delivered for the teachers and the students to recall any changes or inevitable decision in the process of teaching and learning because of the tests. The findings revealed that certain strategies and activities had occurred before the tests. This indicated that the washback effect existed whether it is negative or positive. It is negative when the teachers and students acquired unnecessary decisions, strategies and activities in teaching and learning. It is positive when they acguired necessary decisions, strategies and activities. At the end, the washback effect is a better approach to examine the classroom test in order to expose whether both teachers and students have obtained necessary or unnecessary strategies in teaching and learning.
