The writer used split-half method in estimating reliability. The test was administered on Tuesday, 6th of December, 2016 with 36 students’ scores as sample. The data were firstly tested for normality. After the data were normally distributed, then correlation testing applied. The result showed that the data of the two variables was significantly correlated by using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The result showed that robserved (0.49) was higher than rtable (0.329); therefore, Hi was accepted and Ho was rejected. In other words, there was significant correlation between odd-number and even-number items. It was clear that the teacher-made English summative test for the tenth grade students of SMAN 98 Jakarta in the first semester of 2016/2017 academic year was reliable.
