Validity analysis is very necessary to determine the quality of the questions created by the teacher. However, the phenomenon found was that a number of test items were still found that did not match the indicators in making the test items. Therefore, this research aims to describe the validity of the content of the 7th grade English test questions for the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year at MTsS Bustanul Ulum, Padang City. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The data source for this research is a blueprint for even semester 7th grade English tests and questions.
