There's no single test to diagnose ADHD. Instead, most good specialists rely on several things, including speaking to parents, personally observing the child, questionnaires, rating scales and psychological tests.

It is critical for the doctor to find out how much a child’s symptoms are affecting his daily moods, productivity, behaviour and habits. To rule out other conditions, the doctor might ask for hearing/eyesight tests as well as blood test for lead levels.
