What is the best way to say that a given test is on a given subject?
Can I say 'The test is on Unit 4 from your student book?
How should I rephrase it to make it sound more natural or even correct?

Are you addressing the student who will take the test?– breenNov 16, 2011 at 20:28

Yes, that's the case :) I am far from being native-like in English but I do my best.– lukasNov 16, 2011 at 20:34

Your sample 'The test is on Unit 4 from your student's book' is perfectly serviceable - I would understand what you meant. To clean it just a bit, you might say:
"The test will cover the material in Unit 4 of the textbook" (assuming that by "student's book" you mean textbook.

I think the most natural thing to say would be:
The test is on Unit 4 from your book.
If the student has more than one book for the course (e.g. a Student Activity Book and some other textbook), and you aim to specify:
The test is on Unit 4 from your Student Book.
