Abstract

This research was designed to find out (1) the difficulties faced by second
semester students with each section of the English Proficiency Test (EPT),
(2) the most difficult section in EPT, and (3) the reasons why students found
the difficulties. 57 students of English Education Department in
Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto in academic year 2016/2017
were the sample. The data was obtained from structured questionnaire
which consisted of 15 items and semi structured interview consisted of 7
items. The results showed that students got difficulties in each section
which were Structure and Written Expression (Section Two), Listening
Comprehension (Section One), and Reading Comprehension (Section
Three). In section two, students have assumed that 56% of them got
difficulties in Structure and 47% in Written Expression. Besides that, in
section one there were 74% of students got difficulties in Part B (Long
Conversation), 51% in Part C (One Speaker) and 23% in Part A (Short
Conversation). Followed by section three, there were 23% of students who
got difficulties. Thus, the most difficult section was section two which was
56% of students. For the interview result, in Section One, the majority of
them could not understand what speakers said because of unfamiliar
vocabularies, the fast speech pace and also the accent is British. Therefore,
they could not catch the meaning. Besides that, in Section Two they felt
confuse to find the error in simple, complex, compound and compound
complex sentences. Unfamiliar vocabularies and lack of mastery grammar
rules also obstructed them to identify the error. Furthermore, in Section
Three, they felt unfamiliar with the vocabularies also, so they were difficult
to comprehend, catch the meaning and find the main idea in the text.
Moreover, the texts are long.
