Abstract
Teachers‘ English proficiency can be measured by designing a research instrument in a form of test. The devised test must fulfill the requirement of a good test. This article is aimed at discussing item analysis centering on multiple choice questions used to measure the proficiency of Indonesian High School teachers involved in English instruction. The first set of syllabus oriented test is tried out to 20 subjects, and the second set – general English oriented – to 28 subjects. The test analysis indicates the item difficulty indices range from .20 to 1 for the first set and .07 to .89 for the second set. With regard to item discrimination analysis, the study finds the d values range from -0.33 to 1.0 for the first set, and -0.11 to .78 for the second set. It is found that the whole test has 'average‘ level of difficulty and is 'good‘ at discriminating between high and low achieving test takers; to be used for the actual research, a revision of the test is done to eliminate the 'bad‘ items.
