taken from Competence Standard four material topics for listening skills and one material topic for reading skills. The third column consisted of the lesson
objectives and material topics taken from Basic Competence for the listening or reading skills four material topics for listening skill and one material topic for
reading skill. After the third column, there was the last column which was to put the Graduate Competence Standard
Standard Kompetensi Lulusan
. In order to make the illustration clearer, the checklist could be seen in appendix four on pages
104 up to 105. The checklists were filled by ticking
on the last column which represented the appropriateness between Graduate Competence Standard and both
Competence Standard and Basic Competence. If one of the boxes on Graduate Competence Standard’s column was not ticked, it meant that the criteria on
Competence Standard and Basic Competence of Senior High School grade XII were not stated in the Graduate Competence Standard
Standard Kompetensi Lulusan
. Giving tick on the boxes means that the criteria on Competence
Standard and Basic Competence of Senior High School grade XII were stated in the Graduate Competence Standard
Standard Kompetensi Lulusan
. After comparing the blueprints, the researcher later calculated the result. The final result
was presented into percentage.
2. Checklists to check the content validity of English Items on listening and
reading section of National Examination
In order to analyze the content validity of the English test items of National Examination, the researcher utilizes other checklists. There were two
37
kinds of checklists, first checklist was to check the listening test and the other was to check the reading items. The checklist of listening test consisted of eight points
taken from the blueprints. There were three points were taken from Competence Standard and Basic Competence while the last five were taken from Graduate
Competence Standard. Meanwhile, the checklist of reading test consisted of fifteen points taken from the blueprints; two points were taken from Competence
Standard and Basic Competence while the last thirteen were taken from Graduate Competence Standard. Since there were five reading test versions, the checklists
for reading section were copied into five. In order to make the illustration clearer, see appendix four on pages 107 up to 121. The researcher differentiated the
checklists for listening section and reading section in order to facilitate the analysis process. The fifteen items of listening section and 35 items of reading
section were analyzed. Each item should be matched with the criteria provided in the checklists.
The checklists were filled by ticking on the numbering columns. The
presence of the tick meant that the English test materials of National
Examination represented the learning and test materials on Competence Standard- Basic Competence of senior high school and Graduate Competence Standard
Standard Kompetensi Lulusan
. The absence of the tick on the provided
criteria meant that the English test materials of National Examination did not present the learning and test materials on Competence Standard-Basic
Competence of senior high school and Graduate Competence Standard
Standard Kompetensi Lulusan
. After comparing the English test items with the blueprints,

the researcher calculated the results. The final results were presented into percentage. The results were differentiated into two, first was the result of
checking content validity of both reading and listening items based on Competence Standard and Basic Competence then the second was the result of
checking content validity of both listening and reading items based on Graduate Competence Standard. Since there were five reading test versions of the National
Examination utilized in this research, there were five kinds of results which were presented into percentage for the reading section.
