roses evaluasi pembelajaran adalah tes. Untuk menguji pencapaian siswa, guru

harus membuat sebuah tes. Tes yang dibuat oleh guru disebut tes buatan guru.

Soal mid semester dibuat oleh guru. Hal ini masih menjadi pertanyaan apakah tes

valid dan reliable atau tidak, karena guru jarang mengadakan uji coba tes sebelum

diberikan kepada siswa. Mengetahui faktanya, penulis menganalisis test sehingga

guru akan mengetahui kualitas dari tes tersebut.

Di penelitian ini, penulis memilih SMA 1 Gebog Kudus sebagai subjek

observasinya karena di sekolah ini ada sedikit guru yang menganalisis tes yang

mereka buat. Penulis juga mendapati banyak siswa yang memperoleh nilai

dibawah KKM atau dibawah nilai 76.
