do not enter them to the all recommended indicators. So, the test that was constructed did not fulfill to the standard of the good test. Then, the English test
would be better if they entered to the all recommended indicators in reading and writing skills.
B. Suggestions
After giving the conclusion above, the writer wants to give some suggestions addressed to the test designers as a feedback of the analysis result.
Namely: 1.
Before designing a test, the test designer should have a good preparation by considering the principles of constructing the good test items.
2. The test designer should consider that the test items must be appropriate with
all indicators both reading and writing in English syllabus, and the items that do not fulfill to the indicators should be discarded.
3. If the items do not fulfill to the syllabus, they must be revised so that they can
be used for the next evaluation.
He also would like to give some suggestions addressed to the school as follow:
1. The school should give chances to the test designer to follow the trainings of
constructing a good test. 2.
The school should supervise the test designer’s work in constructing the tests. Whether the tests constructed have fulfilled characteristics of a good test or
not. 3.
The school should store the used items or make the items bank.
