CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background
In this paper, I will write about some case that not only happens in junior or
senior high school, but also for university students. The case is about reading test which
can improve students’ vocabulary. I choose reading test as the case tool because I
believe with facing vocabulary through reading, students will memorize the vocabulary
easily because not only by see the words, students also say the words.
Research Question
Objective
The objective from this paper is to investigate whether reading test can improve
students’ vocabulary. This condition happens in junior high school, senior high school
and university since reading is the daily activity to learn and get knowledge.
Benefit
The benefit from writing a paper is that we learn how to summarize some article
or journal related to our paper and also put the source to our paper. As for the students,
they will get a lot of new vocabulary to learn and train their English learning because
in the end, through reading students can also get good speaking skills.

LITERATURE REVIEW
a. Diagnostic Tests
b. Placement Tests
It is used to place new students in the right class in a school. It assesses students’
productive and receptive skills. It is designed to show how good a student is in English
in relation to a previously agreed system of levels.
c. Proficiency Tests
It is not necessarily based on certain courses that students may have previously
taken. Most students take this type of tests to admit to a foreign university, get a job or
obtain some kind of certificate. It is designed to measure students’ knowledge and
ability in a language.

Internal tests are those given by the institution where the learner is taking the
course. They are often given at the end of a course in the form of a final exam.
e. Objective Tests
Objective tests are those that have clear right or wrong answers. Example
Multiple-choice tests
f. Subjective Tests
g. External Tests
External tests are given by an outside class. Examples are the TOEFL, TOEIC,
IELTS, SAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE and GMAT
h. Combination Tests
Many tests are a combination of objective and subjective styles. For example,
on the TOEFL iBT, the Test of English as a Foreign Language and reading and writing
test.
The first step in developing a test is to establish a test specification that contains
a description showing the overall characteristics a test should have. And write
a TOS based on material.
Reviewing the problem needs to be done to fix the problem if it turns out in
the manufacture is still found deficiencies and errors
d. Doing a Test
This stage is done to improve the quality of the problems that have been
prepared. The data obtained are empirical data, related to reliability, validity,
difficulty level, answer pattern, effectiveness of divers, different power, and
others.
e. Analyzing Item Problem
Each item needs to be analyzed further. Through analysis this grain can be
known, among others: the level of difficulty item, different power, and also
effectiveness.
The next step is to fix the problem part that is not as expected based on the item
analysis. Some of the items may already have a good, poorly revised item, while
others can be discarded if they do not meet the expected quality standards.
The entire items that have been analyzed and improved are then assembled
into a single test unit.
h. Do the test
The next is, the tests that have been prepared are given to the testee (person
who is intended to do the test)
Test results produce quantitative data in the form of scores. The score is then
interpreted to be rated, low, medium, and high
Test reading and listening is to measure students' ability to read or listen. This
test is done by using the audio format and the script not printed in test book. For the
reading test, student must read the script that printed in their test book and have some
Q and A section.
Grammar test, is a test that have purpose too look how much, or how high
vocabulary in English. If the grammar skill are bad, the meaning of the sentence can
be different. Grammar test can be done by answer the incomplete sentence, and it can
be found in TOEFL test.
