The use of knowledge and carefulness to create quality test that effectively measure students' knowledge and abilities. This leads to the research objective, which were to create a test and to establish normative criteria for motor ability among junior high school students. The target group 30 cases were included as sample using simple random sampling method, 195 cases selected using a lottery method, and 2 cases selected using purposive sampling method. The instruments used were a test and a test score recording sheet, totally 6 items with the content validity index of two versions ranging from 0.80-1.00. Data were collected through two rounds of testing and analyzed using statistics to find Pearson correlation coefficients, means, standard deviations, and transformed scores for each test item into T-score. The findings indicated that the six tests created consisting of five elements were as follows: (1) objectives, (2) equipment, (3) location, (4) testing process, and (5) result recording. All the items had high reliability and were highly valid. The first test list was “single-leg balance on a ball receptor for 30 seconds" which had the highest mean score of 17.83 and a standard deviation of 11.36 for the normative criterion. The developed interpretation criteria included five levels: excellent, good, average, poor, and very poor. These levels are a quality result and appropriate to use as tool for early teenager (junior high school students) aged 13-15.
