Abstract

Final Examination is the part of an evaluation that exists in school to assess student's knowledge. This research aimed to show the characteristic of the final mathematics test in Junior High school, grade 8. This research was an explorative descriptive using a quantitative approach. Data collection was gathered using the documentation of mathematics' test in Binjai, North Sumatera including student's answers. The characteristics of test items were analyzed by expert judgment using the classical test theory approach. The average of content analysis was 0.81, there were three items without key answers so it can not be analyzed. The reliability average was 0.84 which has very good quality and difficulty index indicated the difficulty level of questions was on three categories (easy, moderate, and difficult). The difficulty is in the cartesian position, the relation of two sets, determining gradient, determining the solution of linear equation systems of two variables. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
