Key Words: difficulty level, discrimination power, validity and reliability.
Evaluation is a common term in education. Evaluation of students’
achievement is a major aspect of teachers ‘job. In Indonesia, teaching English as a
subject in a school cannot also be separated from evaluation process. So, many
tests are given to the students in order to achieve those purposes not only daily
assessment but also some tests like midterm test or final test in the end of the
semester. However, teachers usually have a bad habit in materials a test; they
make the test, administer it and then take the result of the test based on certain
rules. When those works are completed, teachers often think that their works are
done. It is common if they do not care of the test which they have administered. If
teachers pay attention to the test, they have administered before and they revise
the test for the next year, they will not have to make a new test, of course when
the materials and objectives of the test items they have used in classes. In revising
the test, teachers need to know how to analyze the test items. And for the students,

ABSTRAK
Sa’adah, Nailis. 2013. Analisis Soal Mid Semester Bahasa Inggris Siswa Kelas

Kata Kunci: tingkat kesulitan, tingkat pembeda, validitas, realibilitas.
Evaluasi adalah istilah umum dalam pendidikan. Evaluasi prestasi siswa
merupakan aspek utama dari pekerjaan guru. Di Indonesia, pengajaran Bahasa
Inggris sebagai pelajaran di sekolah juga tidak bisa dipisahkan dari proses
evaluasi. Jadi, banyak tes yang diberikan kepada siswa dalam rangka mencapai
tujuan tersebut tidak hanya penilaian sehari-hari tetapi juga beberapa tes seperti
mid semester atau ujian kenaikan kelas di akhir semester.Dalam tes semacam ini,
guru sering membuat tes sendiri. Namun, guru biasanya memiliki kebiasaan buruk
dalam materi-materi tes, mereka membuat tes, mengelola dan kemudian
mengambil hasil tes berdasarkan aturan-aturan tertentu. Ketika semua tugas- tugas
tersebut selesai, guru sering berpikir bahwa pekerjaan mereka selesai. Hal umum
jika mereka tidak memperhatikan tes yang telah mereka berikan. Jika guru
memperhatikan tes yang telah mereka berikan sebelumnya dan merevisi tes untuk
tahun depan, mereka tidak akan harus membuat tes baru, tentu saja dengan materi
materi dan tujuan dari item tes yang telah mereka digunakan di kelas. Dalam
merevisites, guru perlu mengetahui bagaimana menganalisis item tes. Dan untuk
siswa, mereka dapat menggunakan hasil evaluasi untuk mengukur kemampuan
mereka dalam menguasai materi.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini pada umumnya adalah untuk mengetahui
seberapa baik soal tes pada soal mid semester Bahasa Inggris siswa kelas tujuh
semester ganjil tahun akademik 2012/2013. Kemudian tujuan tersebut di jabarkan
menjadi untuk mengetahui nilai tingkat kesulitan, tingkat pembeda, validitas dan
reliabilitas dari tes tersebut.
Deskriptif kuantitatif digunakan untuk memecahkan atau menjawab
masalah yang dihadapi saat ini dengan mengumpulkan, mengelompokkan dan
menganalisis atau mengolah data, membuat kesimpulan dan laporan. Dan tujuan
dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui seberapa baik soal tes pada soal mid
semester Bahasa Inggris siwa kelas tujuh semester ganjil tahun akademik
2012/2013.
Dari hasil penelitian, rata-rata tingkat kesulitannya adalah 0.69. Jadi,soal
mid semester Bahasa Inggris diklasifikasikan sedang dalam tingkat kesulitan.
Kemudian untuk tingkat pembedanya adalah 0,13, itu berarti bahwa soal tes
dikategorikan rendah. Dan rata-rata validitasnya adalah 0.285, itu berarti bisa di
katakana bahwa tes tersebut valid. Namun, tes ini sesuai dengan koefisien
reliabilitas dari item tes keseluruhannya adalah 0.587.
Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, penulis menyarankan bahwa pembuat soal
tes harus tahu tentang karakteristik tes bahasa yang baik, terutama prosedur
penentuan tingkat kesulitan dan tingkat pembeda. Dan soal soal yang masih bisa
digunakan harus direvisi, sehingga untuk yang akan datang soal tersebut dapat di
gunakan lagi. Akhirnya, penulis menarik kesimpulan bahwa soal mid semester
bahasa Inggris siswa kelas tujuh SMP N 1 Mayong Jepara adalah sedang karena
soal soal tersebut masih dapat digunakan sebagai alat evaluasi dengan beberapa
revisi dalam tingkat kesulitan, tingkat pembeda, validitas dan reliabilitas.
