3.6.4 Post-Test
This is the last steps in conducting the experiment. After administering the pre test and treatments, I must conduct the post test. This test aimed to know the students’
ability in reading and writing hortatory exposition text after getting the treatment.
3.7 Method of Analyzing Data
After getting the data, I had to analyze the data by using several ways. In this research, the method of data analyzing used were scoring technique and
classifying the score.
3.7.1 Scoring Technique
In this research, I would take the score of students in the form of multiple choice and essay. For the multiple choice items, the scoring was only counting the correct
answer discrete point test. In the other hand, in the writing test, I would take the score based on students’ writing production to measure the progress. The aspects
of the scoring writing are grammar, vocabulary, spelling, content, and fluency. There is the scoring technique of writing skills based on Heaton quoted by
Sutirah 2009: 30-2. Items
