items. Using the result of the analysis it is assumed that the teachers could build a good test for other grade too.
1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic
In this study I would like to focus the research on the English Test Model of Mid Term Test, which is administrated to sixth grade students of BBC English
Training Specialist. The Test model will give additional knowledge for teacher to construct a good test for the same situation and condition.
According to Weir in Hasanah 2008:4, in evaluating students achievement, the test not only must fulfill some characteristics of a good test such as validity,
reliability, difficulty level and discrimination power, but also the test should relate closely to both the content of what has been learned and also what things they
have been taught. By applying item analysis, we can indicate which items are reliable and valid for
whatever reasons or check properly whether the test has good quality or not.
1.3 Statement of the Problems
The problem that the writer wants to find out the answer is the following question: How appropriate is the test model conducted by the teacher in BBC
English Training Specialist. More specific, in constructing the test item, the writer limits his problems into the
following questions: 1
how is structure test for mid term test constructed?
2 how is vocabulary test for mid term test constructed?
3 how is reading test for mid term test constructed?
1.4 Objective of the Study
The general objectives of the study are to obtain an objective description of the test model conduct for the sixth grade students of BBC English Training
Specialist. The objective above is then specified into the following goal:
1 to describe constructing structure test for mid term test.
2 to describe constructing vocabulary test for mid term test.
3 to describe constructing reading test for mid term test.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The advantages that can be required from this study are as follows: 1
for the student: The result of the study can be used by student to make their study more effective with regard to the right materials
2 for the teacher: The result of the study can be used as an additional
knowledge for teacher when they want to construct test items. 3
for the test maker: The test maker may use it as a supplement in constructing tests.
4 for the writer: The writer himself especially can increase his skill in
constructing test items.
