The research method employs a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. Data were obtained from the documentation of examination questions and answer sheets, as well as interviews with teachers and students. The participants comprised 14 fourth-grade students of MDTA, selected using a saturated sampling technique. Analysis was conducted using Microsoft Office Excel for validity and reliability, and Anbuso Ver.8 software for difficulty level, item discrimination, and distractor effectiveness. The validity analysis results showed that only 20% of the items were valid, highlighting the need for structural improvements in item formulation. The test reliability met the desired standard, with 8 valid items yielding higher reliability. The difficulty level exhibited variation, ranging from difficult to easy. Evaluation of students' and teachers' perceptions revealed differences in assessing the difficulty level of the questions. Item discrimination analysis identified items with good discrimination, but some were inadequate. The effectiveness of distractors in 67.5% of the items required revision due to unsatisfactory performance. This study contributes to understanding the quality of Arabic language examination questions at MDTA and offers improvement suggestions.
