The study was held at seventh grade students on MTs Al-Ihsan
Tangerang Selatan. The Objective of the study is to know the quality of
English summative test items at the seventh grade student on MTs Al-
Ihsan seen from the level difficulty, discriminating power and the
effectiveness of distracter.
The method of the study is descriptive quantitative and qualitative

to measure index of item facility value and item discriminating power.
Meanwhile, the qualitative analysis method is used in analyzing data score
to detect the item whether are good or not.
The respondents of this study were 44 students of the seventh grade
of MTs Al-Ihsan Pamulang 2013/2014 academic year. The class is divided
into two groups, 25% for upper group and 25% for lower group.
Based on the analysis of the data in this research, the writer
estimates that the English summative test, which is administrated in MTs
Al-Ihsan Pamulang are not good because from 40 items, there are 27 items
which are accepted, 2 items are rejected and 11 items must be revised so it
cannot either be used as the model for developing the English test or
reused for the next text.
The problems found from the revised items are many student lack of
the vocabulary, the distractor of the item do not function well, still many
students do not understand about grammar such as possessive pronoun,
present tense and also the meaning of word refers.
