The research was held at SMA Al-Chasanah Jakarta in 2012/2013
Academic Year. The objective of this research is to describe the quality of each
item of the English summative test of the tenth grade of the first semester at SMA
Al-Chasanah Jakarta by finding the difficulty level of each item and the
discriminating power of each item and which items should be revised then giving
the revisions, if possible, to the weak items.
The analysis showed that there were 20% test items that were not in good
quality; they are eight items that need to be revised and two items that need to be
rewritten. They have low both item facility and discriminating power. The writer
also found that the wrong answer key has been one of the reason why the test was
not well responded. However, 80% of the English summative test items for the
first semester of the tenth year students of SMA Al-Chasanah West Jakarta could
be classified as good quality items.
