Abstract

Developing reliable test items is important for a teacher. In preparing the test items, one must pay attention to the level of difficulty and the level of distinguishing power, so that the results can distinguish smart students from less intelligent students. Test items that are very easy or very difficult, and test items that cannot distinguish between good and poor students, can provide invalid information on test results. The purpose of this study is to explain the test items that are trusted as competency test tools. This research method is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The results of the study explain that compiling reliable test questions is important to do. Therefore, in compiling test questions, it is necessary to pay attention to the level of difficulty and the level of distinguishing power, so that it can provide valid information, and it can place the test taker in the right place.
