description This research develops a Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)-based Arabic receptive proficiency test instrument at the Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sheikh Nurjati Cirebon. This study addresses the lack of international standard measures to test Arabic receptive competency, including listening and reading. This work created a CEFR-compliant test instrument that matches Arabic language specifics. The Research and Development (RnD) strategy using the ADDIE model—analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation—is applied. The steps include identifying needs, instrument design, feedback-based iterative development, implementation in an authentic setting, and detailed efficacy evaluation. This study found that the instrument is valid, reliable, and effective in testing CEFR-level Arabic receptive proficiency. The instrument considers Arabic's intricacies and complexities to assess receptive performance holistically and contextually. This work enriches Arabic language competency measuring literature and provides a valuable measurement tool for educators and learners, particularly in Islamic education.
