Abstract

Score inappropriateness denotes to examinees’ performance in giving wrong answers to the easy items while the right answers are given to the difficult ones. This phenomenon indicates to the presence of item bias. This study addresses the extent to which the West Java senior high school national examination results demonstrate score inappropriateness. The study employs a descriptive method conducted to the West Java 2011-2012 UN participants in the subject of Bahasa Indonesia. The data was collected from the Center for Educational Evaluation and was analyzed in two phases, i.e., analysis of item difficulty index and calculation of score inappropriateness index by using Jacob method. Results of the study indicate; 1) 64% of the item difficulty index is categorized as easy. 2) The index of score inappropriateness is 0.6%. This indicates the index is low meaning that there is no significant indication of item bias in the national examination items.
