Abstract
National Examination is one type of evaluation test conducted by the government to
improve the quality of education. Realizing the importance of the National Examination, this
study aims to find out what sort of preparation that teachers and schools do to prepare the
students to face the National Examination, particularly in English course. A number of four
English senior high school teachers who were in charge of the English National Examination’s
preparation in each school participate in this study. A Descriptive analysis is conducted to
explore the findings. There are nine main categorizations in presenting the data. The
categorizations are: the duration of the preparation, people who involved in the preparation,
things being prepared, the reasons why things were prepared, the medium of instruction, skills
and area being focused, other teaching and learning activities, overall difficulties, and the
preparation so far. The result indicates that teachers play important role in the preparation
process and need to conduct more interesting teaching method to make the students motivated to
face the National Examination. More research needs to be done to find effective technique in the
preparation process.
Key words:
National Examination, preparation, teachers, wash-back, evaluation.
