To solve this problem, we first need to understand that the student failed by 50 marks, which means that these 50 marks are the difference between the passing mark (40%) and the marks he got (30 marks).

Step 1: Add the marks the student got to the marks by which he failed.
30 marks (marks he got) + 50 marks (marks by which he failed) = 80 marks (this is the passing mark)

Step 2: Now, we know that the passing mark (80 marks) is 40% of the total marks of the test. We can use this information to find the total marks.

Let's denote the total marks as 'x'.

So, 40% of 'x' is equal to 80 marks.

0.40x = 80

Step 3: To find 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 0.40

x = 80 / 0.40

x = 200

So, the maximum marks of the test are 200.
