and posttest I. There are two steps to know the comparing result of pretest and posttest I. T
hose are calculating the students’ improvement into percentage and calculating the class percentage.
The first step was calculating the mean score of posttest I. It was calculated as follows:
Total score of students post-test 1 = 1230
The calculation above shows that students’ mean score of posttest I is 61.5. It shows that there wasan improvement from pretest mean score. It could
be seen from the pretest mean score 53.2 to the mean score of posttest I 61.5.
Based on the result above, the percentage of the students’ scores from
the pretest to the posttest I is 15.60. It means that the score in cycle I is improved about 15.60 from the pretest score.
Afterwards, the writer would like to know the percentage of students who passed the KKM. It used the calculation as following:
According to the calculation, the class percentage which passed the KKM in posttest I is 35. In other words, there were 7 students achieved the
KKM and the other 13 students were out of target. The class percentage of posttest I is 35. It could be seen from the class percentage pretest 15. It
could be concluded the KKM is 20 35-15.
f. The result of Post-test II
In cycle II, the writer used the same steps to get the mean score of the class, to get the percentage of the students’ improvement score, and to know
the class percentage which derived the KKM.

Firstly, to get the mean score of the class, the writer used calculation as follows:
Total score of students post-test 2 = 1420
From that calculation, the mean score of posttest II is 71. It means that there are some students’ improvement score from the mean score of posttest I
61.5. Next, to get the
percentage of students’ score improvement the following calculationis used:
According to that calculation, it could be said that posttest 2 improves 43.66 from the pretest and improves 17.85 from the posttest1 33.45-
15.6= 17.85.
From that calculation, the class percentage is 80. It means that in the cycle 2 there were 16 students passed the KKM and 4 students were below the
KKM.
