The last was the students feeling about whether they felt threatened or not when they did the ProProfs online CBA. The result was 46 of
the students did not felt threatened, and 44 of them were felt threatened.
2. The result on the students regarding the use of ProProfs online
CBA
Examination score refers to the learner ability within a classroom lesson, unit, or even curriculum.

The use of computer based assessment also has some advantages and disadvantages. Computer-
based assessments allow educators to collect data on students‟ testing
strategies; intermediate progress, amount of time spent on each question, and thought processes, in addition to their final answers.
7
The total Mean for the students‟ score for “A” class was 74, 67. So, the
categorization of students‟ examination score was “Good”. Then, the total Mean
for the students‟ score for “B” class was 74, 64. From those two classes the mean was 74, 65. It means the result on the
students regarding the use of ProProfs online Computer-based assessment as assessment tool got “Good” score.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
Based on the research finding and discussion, the researcher has conclusion about students’ perception about the use of ProProfs online
CBA software as an assessment tool. It was found that: 1.
Students’ perception on ProProfs online Computer-based assessment software as an assessment tool was Positive. Furthermore, there were
93 from the positive component, and there were 7 from the negative component. Both of them state “STRONG” criterion, but the
positive component taken major choic es. It means that the students’
perception were positive about that. Then, it is indicated that the data from positive component higher than the data from negative
component. 2.
The total Mean for the students’ score for “A” class was 74, 67. So, the categor
ization of students’ examination score was “Good”. Then, the total Mean for the students’ score for “B” class was 74, 64. From those
two classes the mean was 74, 65. So, the result on the students regarding the use of ProProfs online CBA as assessment tool got
“Good” criterion score. The researcher can conclude that the students’ score regarding the use of ProProfs online CBA was average. The
mean of the students’ score was 70 until 79.

B. Suggestion
Based on the research, the researcher would like to give the following suggestions:
1. The use of online CBA as an assessment tool at English education
department was extremely sparse. So they have many and varied opinion regarding the use of online CBA. Although, based on the
research that perception about ProProfs online CBA as an assessment tool was quite good. Besides, it will be better that the lecturer should
give further explanation direction of that assessment tool. In addition the lecture should be aware about the condition and facilities of them
whether the computer and the internet connection are provided or not. It will help the
students’ enhanced levels of motivation and confidence. As a consequence the result of students’ score will be better.
2. It was the recommendation of this researcher that further research was
needed to determine the extent of the impact that computer-based assessment has on student learning. Also, A study that examines
assessment scores as compared to paper-based scores should be completed on a larger scale to determine whether there was a positive
impact on student performance or not. Data should be collected and students should be broken down into more specific categories to
determine other factors that may impact assessment scores. Also, for further research, the researcher can research about the use or the
implementation of ProProfs online CBA as an assessment tool.
