From the test specification and the result of interview and library study, the writer had some guidelines to do step two, planning.
2. Planning
Step two, planning, the writer collected some narrative texts which was done on Saturday 17
th
April, 2010. Borg and Gall 1983: 781 stated that a good plan can help the developer avoid much wasted work during later phases of good
R D cycle. So in this step, the writer developed a good plan before writing the test.
The writer did planning by doing operationalization, which was included selecting and specifying the materials to construct the test Bachman’s and
Palmer’s Test Development. By doing selecting and specifying the materials the writer would be able to make a blueprint of the test. A blueprint contained a test
structure and test task specifications. This step would be done by conducting library study.
Research result of this step is a blueprint that can be seen in Tabel 4.2 below:
Blueprint
Test structure
a. Number of partstasks
The test was organized into two tasks. The tasks of this test will be cloze tasks and
impromptu reading plus comprehension questions.
b. Salience of parts
Parts are clearly distinct

c. Setting Pangudi Luhur St. Yosef Surakarta Senior

e. Instructions: 1 Please read the text carefully and
choose the correct answer. Give cross X to the appropriate answer on your
answer sheets.
2 Fill in blanks with the correct answer provided in number 17-20.
f. Characteristics of Input and
Expected Response
There are five texts see in the appendix 2 page 64-70 that would be used to design
the test. The texts were obtained through searching on the internet because internet
provided many relevant sources. Then some of the texts were simplified without
changing the meaning. Four of the texts texts 1,2,3,4, see the appendix 2 page 64
would be used to design impromptu reading plus comprehension questions and
one of them text 5, see the appendix 2 page 69 would be used to design cloze
task because the writer wants to explore students comprehension based on the
lesson plan. The students should answer the test by crossing the answer on the
answer sheets.
g. Scoring method In this research, the writer gave score
based on the mark of correct number. If the test consists of a number of objective
subsets for example: multiple-choice, then each item may have been assigned a
mark of 1 one if correct and 0 zero if wrong Alderson, Clapham, and Wall,
1995:148.
