This project is designed to provide students with practical experience in developing evaluation tools that can be used in an actual educational context.
The process of preparing questions is carried out in groups, where each class (class A and class B) divided into 13 group, Each consists of 3-4 person. Each group is responsible for compiling 60 questions consisting of various forms of questions: 15 Multiple Choice Questions, 10 Matchmaking, 10 Short Answer Questions, 10 Complementary Questions, 10 True and False Questions, and 5 Essay Questions. The material on which the questions are prepared includes 13 chapters containing important topics in history, starting from the Pre-Literacy Period, Hindu-Buddhist Period, Islamic Period, The Coming of the European Partnership, European Colonialism and Imperialism, National Movement, Occupation of Japan, Proclamation of Independence, Defending Independence, Old Order, New Order, Reform, and an additional chapter on Basic Concepts and Historical Research.
The process of making this Question Bank Book is not just about compiling questions, but it also involves creating a detailed score formula and answer key. Every question that is prepared must go through a verification and validation process, ensure that the questions meet good evaluation standards and can accurately measure student abilities. Thus, This project provides students with an in-depth understanding of how to construct a valid evaluation tool, Reliable, and fair.

By having a comprehensive question bank, Students will be better prepared to face challenges in teaching and evaluating students in the future.
