ENHANCING EXAM READINESS: A COMMUNITY SERVICE INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP AN ENGLISH QUESTION BANK MODULE

Abstract

This community service aims to develop an English question bank module based on the Merdeka Curriculum for 6th-grade elementary school students to prepare for the national exam. The development of this module was carried out using the ASSURE model, which includes stages such as analyzing students' needs (A), stating learning objectives (S), selecting methods, media, and materials (S), utilizing the module as an instructional model (U), and evaluating the module through expert assessment (E). The step of requiring student participation during module implementation (R) was not conducted due to time constraints. The development results show that this question bank module is effective in enhancing students' understanding of national exam materials through varied exercises tailored to the students' ability levels. The module is designed with engaging visual components and a variety of question types to support student learning and assist teachers in preparing for exams. The implications of this community service include providing relevant and effective teaching materials to improve students' readiness for the national exam.
