This is the analysis from test paper :

a)      Practicality

Final exam questions in every city has difference. The difference was due to regional autonomy in the filed education, so in making the final semester exam questions become different. Making questions also cannot be separated from core competencies, basic competencies, as well as aspects in the 2013 curriculum and competency standards and basic competencies at the education unit level curriculum.

b)      Reliability

this final test is a bit reliable, because every students  has the same question paper. But all the questions and the texts are clear and only have on correct answer in them, students are also given time in answering questions and final exam assessments are also consistent in the result of student answers.

c)      Validity

This final exam question is valid, because there are several reasons such as ; all questions and text in it using English, to answers the whole question requires the expertise of students in reading the point targeted in the question, and rearranging random sentence. Everything contained in the questions is very similar with what was learned before.
