C. Interpretation
After classifying the items into area tested and explaining the frequency and percentage of the scores. The writer has a word that there are only few
students who got the high score, while the rest of them got the low score. The high, the middle, and the low scores are determined as below:
The high score :
80 - 100
The middle score :
56 -
79 The low score
: 10
- 55
Furthermore, the writer would like to present the classification of the scores of the students, as the table below:
Table 4.7 The Classification of the Scores of the Students
No CS
Total Percentage of the Scores True False Test
Matching Test 1
The High Score -
7 2
The Middle Score 30
53 3
The Low Score 70
40 From the table above we can sees the results of matching test that 7 of
all students got high score, 53 of them got middle score and 40 got the low score.
The results of matching test show us that students can understand the different between countable and uncountable noun. From the test that has been
given, only few students got low score. Its mean that students can identify the noun that can be counted and uncounted noun.
Meanwhile in true false test only 30 of all students got middle score and 70 of them got low score in true false test. The results of true false test show us
that students still have problem in using countable and uncountable noun in the sentence. To find the problem that students faced, the writer analyzing each items
in the true false test that consist of five teen questions. The writer use formula; P=F X
100 N
Notes: P = Percentage
F = Frequency of the result of the students, test N = Number of the students

According to the results of true false test, which is conducted at the first year of SMP 1 Babelan, the writer found some problems that students have in
learning countable and uncountable noun.
1. Some Problem Faced by the Students
The problem which is concerned with the use of countable and uncountable noun. The students often get difficulties in using countable and
uncountable. In the sentence, many and much have the same meaning but the usages of them are different.
2
Countable used many before noun that can be counted and used much before noun that cannot be counted. For example; how
much sugar do you want in your tea? Sugar is noun that cannot be counted and always use much before noun but if the writer see the results in number nine 86
of all students make mistake. From table 8 the students answer in true false test, the writer can conclude
that students found difficulties in using much or many. They often use much for noun that can be count and use many for noun that cannot be counted.
a. The lack of grammatical structures
The true false test consists of fifteen items and related to the grammatical structures. If the writer look to the table 7, it is clear that most of 70 of all
students got the low score and the other got middle. If the writer compare with the results of matching test only 40 of all students got the low score. The result
shows that the students still have difficulties using countable and uncountable noun in the sentences.
