Quantitative analysis of the quality of the TTMC test is good. Analysis of 27 items in the small group trials showed test obtained 24 items received and 3 items were rejected. The large group test was obtained: (1) 19 valid items (71%), 5 invalid items (21%).(2) The test having enough reliability is 0.587. (3) 3 (13%) easy items, 12 (50%) medium items and 9 (38%) difficult items. (4) Discrimination index of the questions was obtained by 14 (58%) questions in the excellent category, 5 (21%) questions in the good category and 5 (21%) questions in the bad category.

Analysis of high school students' difficulties in solving hots problems using the two-tier test method

“…Some research finds that two-tier tests can measure high-level thinking abilities (HOTS). The two-tier test HOTS instrument has been developed and is particularly effective in testing students' higher order thinking skills (Girsang et al, 2020). Students are stimulated to think at a high level when two-tier instruments are used; they respond to the stimulation by choosing an option from the available possibilities (Rintayati et al, 2020).…”
