Abstract


Tests and assessments are always integrated in language teaching and learning as they can be a means of measuring students' knowledge of the language and how they use the language. A large proportion of language tests, especially achievement tests or classroom tests, are paper-based tests. This research is classified as a research and development (R&D) type. The research has been carried out to design an achievement test for the seventh grade students at MTs Ash-Shalihin and tried the test on participants in a class consisting of 29 students. The researchers analyzed and examined the items based on their data presentation, mean and standard deviation scores, reliability (split half), validity, level of difficulty, level of differentiation and fulltime analysis. The result of this research the tests created are basically reliable, valid and not too difficult, in fact some tests are easy. In terms of discriminating power, this test cannot be used to discriminate between clever students and less able students. The researchers need to revise and develop another test with high discriminatory power but the same reliability and validity.
