In which: _
X = mean score
∑X = the total of corect number n
= the number of respondents
Fourth, the percentage of the classification of the students’ ability in answering the test will be calculated by using the formula of Sudjiono 1991:41 as
follows:
P= f x 100 n
In which: P = percentage
f = number of frequency n = Total numbers of respondents
