Abstract

This study aims to explain how to design a verbal analogy ability test instrument in Arabic. After the questions were compiled, the researcher analyzed the development of a verbal analogy ability test in Arabic subjects in the form of a validity test, reliability test, discriminatory power test, and test of the difficulty level of the questions. The verbal analogy questions developed were limited to Arabic subjects at the high school level. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method with data collection techniques, using a verbal analogy ability test in Arabic in multiple choice questions. The test analysis method includes a validity test, reliability test, discriminatory power test, and test of the questions' difficulty level using the SPSS version 25 application. The results of this study indicate that five methods can be applied to developing verbal analogy ability test questions in Arabic. The results of the analysis of the verbal analogy ability test in Arabic that was developed were stated to be valid, reliable, and have good discriminatory power, as well as different levels of difficulty for the questions.
