Abstract: This article aims to offer students and researchers the techniques and procedures in analyzing statistically the validity of objective English language test based on the test item. Analyzing the validity of a test is important in order to make a good test which functions as evaluation or measuring the achievement of teaching and learning process. This article also offers the consideration to use appropriate formula in order to find more accurate result. In analyzing the item test validity of the objective test, the coefficient is found by using correlation technique. The appropriate correlation formula for the test item validity is Point Biserial Correlation. Consideration of using Point Biserial Correlation is because the correlated data is types of dichotomous data and interval data. This formula is the most appropriate to find out accurate correlation coefficient. The value of coefficient is important to determine the extent and status of the test item; valid or invalid.
