Source: Primary Data Processed Based on the table above, it can be concluded that the main cause
of failure of multiple-choice items mostly in the level of difficulty and the distribution pattern answer which mean that the items are used still
too easy or difficult and the distractors are not functioning properly. The second cause of failure is distinguishing power which means the items
can not be used to distinguish between high-ability students and low-
ability students. The third cause of the failure is validity level, which means that the item is invalid and does not have suitability or alignment
direction to the total score. The main cause of the failure of the items on essay questions is on the level of difficulty, because the item is still too
easy or too difficult. Less good items need to be re-investigated on every criteria and
tested again and be re-evaluated after being repaired. The good item will be stored in the question bank and can be used in the next test, but if
there is no change, it should be discarded, while not good items should be deleted and not reused in the next examination.
