When I see U and When You have Told, I know what you want!!! ? A.??? Background of the Research The quality of education has become main reference and concern in this globalization era. In the broader concept, the quality of education refers to process and result of education as a whole. By establishing standards for students competence in student assessment, the government of Indonesia has standardized the quality of education in vocational school by holding a national test. National exam commonly abbreviated as UN/UNAS is a standard evaluation system of primary and secondary education in Indonesia and the equation of quality of education levels among the areas that conducted by the center for Educational Assessment, Depdiknas in Indonesia based on Undang-UndangRepublik Indonesia nomor 20 tahun 2003 states that in order to control the quality of education nationwide to be evaluated as a form of accountability of education providers to the parties concerned. Further stated that the evaluations conducted by independent agencies on a regular basis, comprehensively, transparently and systematically to assess the achievement of national education standards and the monitoring process evaluation should be done continuously. Evaluation of the monitoring process is carried out continuously and continuous in the end will be able to fix the quality of education. Improving the quality of education begins with the determination of the standard. Determination standards continue to rise is expected to encourage increased quality of education, which is determination of educational standards is the determination of the limit value (cut-off score). Someone said to have passed / competent when it has passed the limit value of the boundary between learners who have mastered certain competencies with learners who have not mastered certain competencies. When that happens on the national exam or school then the boundary value function to separate the students who graduated and did not pass is called the limit of graduation, graduation delimitation activities called standard setting. Benefits of standard setting final exam: 1.????? The limit of graduation each subject in accordance with the demands of minimum competency. 2.????? The same standards for each subject as a minimum standard of competency achievement. The goal of test is mainly focused to measure the view that student assessment is an essential part of teaching and that good teaching cannot exist without good student assessment. English is one of the subject that included in the test. On the other hand, quite many students are not able to get a passing grade of English test. In addition, which is occurred in the school, is that they have to follow many items of English test. Such as Listening ?and reading so they feel hard in testing the target language. For example, students in SMK Muhammadiyah Jakarta Pusat do not like either, where as the importance of practice English test, especially Nasional test materials, was stated on curriculum of the school. It is stated that the purpose of learning. Talking about achievement of the target language, there are several elements, one of the main element is learning style. Experiences show that developed countries are those who place learning style as the main element in education. In Indonesia, has not placed appropriately in the policies and programs of education. Now a days is time to make policy with new paradigm, which is building education by starting it from subject of ? good teaching strategy by giving motivations as well?. Without it, the quality of education which is intended to educate people through the development of human resources will not be achieved.

The motivation, on the other hand, is the kind of motivation that generated by what happens inside the classroom. This could be teachers? method, the activities, that the students take part in, or their perception of their success or failure.

A growing number of international companies recognize the TOEIC as an objective indicator of a person?s proficiency in studying English.

This means, the teachers have to use and explore as many materials, resources and methods as possible in order to improve their English. Teachers should create an environment in which they are exposed to the English language on a daily basis. For example, teachers ask the students to listen to the Voice of America, watch television on CNN, SkyNews or BBC, read newspaper articles in English and write e-mail. In addition, the Internet provides with a wide variety of learning tools such as electronic newsletters, discussion groups and forums. On English-test.net students will find a large number of interactive tests that help them learn the core vocabulary of the TOEIC test. There is a total of 684 test with 10 question each.
