When a test implements several test instruments, there is an assurance that the test instruments that will be implemented are equal and this equality is an urgent matter. Therefore, this study aimed at confirming the equality of the test instruments that had been implemented in Mathematics National Examinations (MNE) 2013-2016. This study was conducted using quantitative approach. The data were gathered using students’ response documentation technique and MNE test instruments; the test instruments were drawn from the packages that had been administered to the national examinations for junior high school students in the Province of Yogyakarta Special Region. The data were analyzed by using the stages of item parameter estimation, designing the equating equation, equating through concordance model, drawing the test characteristics curve, and interpretation. The results of the analysis showed that the instruments that have been administered are almost equal, both from one package to another and from one year to another, with the standards of test instrument 2013.

The main purpose of this study is to answer the following question. Is there any influence of junior high school student’s opinion on the importance of the National Examination against the 2018 National Examination results because currently the National Examination is no longer a determinant of graduation? The population of this study was junior high school students participated in the National Examination in 2018. The data in this study were in the form of test scores and students’ answers to questionnaires in 34 provinces throughout Indonesia. Filling out questionnaires was carried out voluntarily on the last day of the National Examination, so the number of respondents filling out the questionnaire was 3.224.331 from 37.859 junior high school students. The number of respondents is the sample in this study. Based on the results of the t-test analysis obtained as follows. The influence of student opinions stating that the UN is important and not important to the 2018 UN results even though the UN is not a determinant of graduation is proven. This means that there is a significant influence (P <0,000) of the student's opinions towards the 2018 National Examination results for subjects: Indonesian, English, Mathematics, and Science, (Sig. 0,000). Most of the SMP / MTs students amount to 199.222 (90.7%) stated that the National Examination was important, while students who stated that the UN was not important were 20.340 (9.3%) students. The conclusion is that there is an influence of the junior high school students’ opinion about the importance of the National Examination towards the 2018 UN results even though the National Examination is not a determinant of graduation.

This research aims at designing an Android-based mobile application for language learning (MALL) for the final exam simulation of the English subject for junior high school students. The method used in building the Android-based mobile application is the software development life cycle (SDLC). Based on the implementation of user design and testing, the user (teacher and students) can do a test by using an application that runs on the Android platform. The Android device will request (get / post) to the server via the internet. Then the web server (PHP) will process the request from Android and will query the database. The computer then sends data to the Android device via JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It is as an intermediary between the server and the Android application. The name of this application is SOUN that stands for “Soal Ujian Nasional” or the National Examination Questions. The teacher can manage the questions and see the scores that the students have achieved. While the students can practice answering the questions of English exercises independently, anytime and anywhere both online and offline. They can also see the score immediately based on the questions that they answered. They also know the solution, tricks, and tips on doing the exercises by choosing the menu provided. Therefore, the use of MALL as the learning media can become one of the alternative English learning models in order to prepare the students for practicing the simulations of the national examination

A growing body of correlational research finds a relationship between self-efficacy—beliefs in one's capabilities—and academic success. But few studies have investigated whether self-efficacy is causally related to academic success. We hypothesized that an experience of success would promote self-efficacy in junior high school students and would lead to academic improvements. To induce an experience of success, we secretly presented easy anagrams to target students (41 males and 43 females; 12-13 years old) who then outperformed their classmates (116 males and 115 females). We assessed students’ self-efficacy and academic achievement scores before and after the anagram tasks. We found that the success-induced students raised their self-efficacy, and this elevated self-efficacy persisted for as long as one year. Moreover, success-induced males eventually showed significant improvement in their academic achievement. These results provide a real-world experimental enactment of Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, and have implications for the practices of educational practitioners.

Several reform groups, including the President's Education Policy Advisory Committee and Educate America, are calling for national examinations for high school students. Examination advocates claim the following benefits: the establishment of national standards, increased accountability, and increased motivation for students. Advocates also point out that the United States is the only major industrialized country without some sort of national examination. Critics claim that examinations restrict teachers' creativity; force teachers to teach for the examination; and promote improper comparisons among states, districts, schools, teachers, and students. (See, e.g., DeWitt [1991]).

Regression model is used to analyze the relationship between dependent variable and independent variable. If the regression curve form is not known, then the regression curve estimation can be done by nonparametric regression approach. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the value resulted by National Examination and the factors that influence it. The statistical analysis used was multivariable truncated spline, in order to analyze the relationship between variables. The research that has been done showed that the best model obtained by using three knot points. This model produced a minimum GCV value of 44.46 and the value of determination coefficient of 58.627%. The parameter test showed that all factors used were significantly influence the National Examination Score for Senior High School students in West Lombok Regency year 2017. The variables were as follows: National Examination Score of Junior High School; School or Madrasah Examination Score; the value of Student’s Report Card; Student’s House Distance to School; and Number of Student’s Siblings.
