From that result of the quality of both tests, the writer did not use all questions to be tested for sample. The writer decided to take 20 questions for each
test. In point insignificant, the writer did not use it because it was not valid question. The writer used very significant and significant point, also adequate
question after revising the question. The questions that were used for vocabulary test were:
Table 3.3 The Questions Number of Vocabulary Test
No Very Significant
Significant Adequate Need to
be revised
2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 25 6, 10, 11, 13, 15, 18,
19, 24, 29
8 , 9, 12, 16, 20, 22,
23, 26, 27, 28
In column very significant and significant, all questions were used. However, in column adequate, only five questions with the bold sign that were
used after they were revised. So, the total questions that were used were 20 questions.
Like vocabulary test, reading test also used 20 questions for the sample of the research. These were the questions of reading test that were used:
Table 3.4 The Questions Number of Reading Test
No Very Significant
Significant Adequate Need to
be revised
5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 25
2, 4, 27, 28 3, 6, 7, 12, 14, 26, 29
It was same with vocabulary test; the questions that were used were in column very significant and significant. Also, the questions in column adequate
with bold sign about four questions were used after those questions were corrected. Appendix 7 and 8 for the instruments.
F. Technique of Collecting Data

time about 40 minutes. Students must answer 20 questions that were provided in vocabulary and reading test.
H. Technique of Analyzing Data
In analyzing data the writer used Pearson Product Moment. Pearson Product Moment is a technique that was created by Karl Pearson and this technique is
often used to find the correlation between two variables.

This is the formula of Pearson Product Moment:
4
=
∑ ∑ ∑ √{ ∑
∑ }{ ∑
∑ }
In which: correlation of the score of each item
N = the number of the subject ∑ score in each item
∑ from each subject ∑
= the sum of the square of the total score in each item
