    Currently, Integrative Tests, which assess all student skills simultaneously, are not widely applied in the classroom because they are not very popular when they are used asassessment tools. In order to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Integrative Tests, this research synthesis analyzed 20 different studies related to the application of this type of evaluation. The studies are considered since 2002 in this way enough information is obtained for the analysis of the use of Integrative Tests. Through the analysis of different qualitative and quantitative articles, the main conclusion found was that the Integrative Tests present mostly advantages in improving the language skills of the test taker; however, they also present disadvantages, but in fewer numbers. In the same way, some pedagogical implications were identified in which the students, teachers, and the syllabus are the important elements in education. Finally, some aspects that the teacher must take into account when constructing or applying this type of test are detailed.
