National Examination is an instrument to evaluate education system in Indonesia that held annually by Pusat Penilaian Pendidikan, Depdiknas. Due to its importance, National Examination need to be fair for all Indonesian student. Item Response Theory is a method that offer the evaluations for every student goes fair and does not depends on the problem of the test. In this project, we review one of popular IRT model, logistic one-parameter which only use difficulty parameter as a differentiator for each item. Existing data on 103.974 high-school student in Central Java responded to Mathematics National Examination 2018 are used to exemplify typical applications on IRT such as EM method and EAP method. The results will be compared by the actual phenomenon. Then, we can analyze by comparing every test packet or comparing every city. These examples illustrates how IRT can be used to improve the development, refinement, and evaluation of national examination especially in Central Java.
