Phase transitions in physical bodies are compared with phase transitions in testing. The phase transition in testing is treated as the loss of cause-effect relationship between the conditions of the test item and the answer of a student. It is shown that the first order and the second order phase transitions in testing are similar to those in physics. Methods of detecting the phase transition to guessing are described. They are based on the modern test theory. It was established that phase transition to guessing can take place both for multiple-choice and open-ended test items. The statistical indicator for detecting the phase transition to interaction between students when they answer multiple-choice test items is proposed.
Key words: phase, first-order and second-order phase transitions, testing, guessing, interaction between students.
