C = Content O = Organization
V = Vocabulary LU = Language Use
M = Mechanics In order to know the students’ pre-test achievement in details, the
following formula was used to find the average of the students’ achievement. The formula is the following:
The average score of pre-test = ∑Students’ Score X 100
∑ Students =
∑ 1426 X 100 ∑ 21
= 64. 571
The formula used for computing the mean was as follows: M =
∑x n
Where: M
: The mean ∑x
: The sum of the item scores, and n
: The number of the students.
