Abstract

This study aims to determine the quality of the science midterm exam questions for the 2021 academic year at BP Pancasila Junior High School for grades VII A and B in the odd semester. This is a descriptive study using a quantitative approach. The results present calculations regarding the difficulty level of multiple-choice and teacher-written essay questions.
The results regarding the difficulty level also include the correspondence between the cognitive domain of each question item and the difficulty level category of each question, based on the difficulty level calculation formula. The difficulty level categories (TK) include difficult, medium, and easy. The range of difficulty levels and difficulty categories is difficult 0.00-0.32; medium 0.33-0.66; and easy 0.67-1.25. Teachers do not choose questions beyond the students' abilities and adhere to easy-to-understand grammar rules, in accordance with C1, C2, and C3. The midterm exam questions also vary from year to year. The seventh-grade midterm exam at BP Pancasila Junior High School consists of 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions, with weighting levels ranging from easy to medium to difficult.
