Abstract: Higher vocational colleges are ability-based education. In order to adapt to the development of education, all colleges have carried out a large number of curriculum teaching reforms, but the reform of assessment form obviously lags behind the teaching reform. For students' future career planning and sustainable development ability, we should pay attention to the learning and accumulation of theoretical knowledge while paying attention to the cultivation of students' practical skills. Studying the examination form suitable for both theory and practice in higher vocational colleges is one of the main parts of higher vocational curriculum reform. Based on the existing examination forms and practical experience, taking the course of hydraulic and pneumatic technology as an example, the examination forms are studied and applied, and some results are obtained.
