Abstract

This study aimed to develop an academic achievement test to measure undergraduate students- achievement. It was a developmental study which used quantitative descriptive approach and analysis to analyze the quality of the test. The test that consisted of 48 items were tried out on 54 undergraduate students. Next, the items were analyzed in terms of validity, item difficulty indexes, discrimination indexes, distracter effectiveness, and reliability. The validity analysis showed that all items (48 items) at least had the Aiken-s V value of 0.92. Then based on the difficulty index analysis, it was found that 62.50% were moderate, 25.00% were easy, and 12.50 items were difficult. Another analysis showed that the discrimination power of 66.67% items were very good, 14.58% were good, 6.25% were good enough, and 12.50% were poor. In terms of distracter effectiveness of 19 multiple choice items which passed the screening process of item difficulty and discrimination, it was found that 31.57% of items had all well-functioning distracters. However, 42.11% items had three nonfunctioning distracters and the rest 26.32% had two nonfunctioning distracters. Finally, the reliability estimation analysis showed that the consistency index was 0.71.
