 ABSTRACT
Thesis : Item Analysis on the Validity and the Reliability of English
Summative Test for the First Year Students of MA Madani
Alauddin Paopao
Year : 2015
Researcher : Anita Noveria
Supervisor I : Erwin Hafid, Lc. M.Th.I., M.Ed
Supervisor II : Sukirman, S.Pd., M.Pd.

This research analyzed the validity and the reliability of the English Summative
Test for the first year students at MA Madani Alauddin Paopao for each item by
dividing the validity and the reliability analysis for the two kinds of test, they are; short-
answer test and completion test. The researcher applied the quantitative descriptive
method in which the data was obtained from the teacher-made test. The subject of this
research was the English summative test designed to test the students who were
registered grade X in the academic year of 2014-2015 at MA Madani Paopao.
Furthermore, the test was tried out to students and the researcher analyzed the validity
and the reliability of each kind of test.
In terms of validity, the researcher revealed that, the short-answer test has 8
items (80%) were valid, as they showed the standard of validity of a good test and 2
items (20%) were unable to deal with the standard of validity index required by a
trustworthy test item. On the contrary, 5 items (100%) of the completion test were
found reliable, as the validity indexes were higher than the table of critical value of
product moment (0.297) with the level of significance 95 percent. Furthermore, the
reliability of English summative test designed by the teacher was also found different.
The short-answer test was reliable because the reliability index was 0.808 which was
higher than the table of critical value of product moment (0.297) with the level of
significance 95 %. However, the reliability of completion test was found to be not
reliable as the reliability index was 0.140 which was lower than the table of critical
value of product moment (0.297) with the level of significance 95 %.
In connection with the result of this research, the researcher provided the
following suggestions: (1) to construct an ideal test, the teachers should master the
knowledge of language testing and make time for constructing the test items; (2) the
item which was found not valid and the kind of test which was not reliable should be
revised or even removed; and (3) as many students of university conducted teaching
practice at MA Madani Paopao, the teachers of each subject especially for English
subject should guide and monitor the process of students’ teaching until test designing.
