Analyzes with the Rasch model include summary statistics, item fit, item size, item correlation, and person size. Validation from experts gets an average score of 140 out of 160 with an average proportion of 87.7% which indicates a very valid instrument. Summary statistics for the testing phase show that the measurement of the person is 0.69 and 0.73 and the measurement of the item is 0.86 and 0.87, which means that the consistency of the student's answers is in the sufficient category, but the quality of the items is good. For the person measure implementation test stage it showed 0.69 and 0.74 meaning that the consistency of student answers was also in the sufficient category, while the quality of the items for the reliability aspect was in the special category with values ??of 0.96 and 0.97.
