This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), consisting of both verbal and numerical subtests. We used a descriptive quantitative approach by describing the characteristics of SAT based on the degree of item difficulty, item discrimination index, pseudoguessing index, test information function and standard error measurement. The data are responses of the SAT instrument, collected from 1,047 subjects in Yogyakarta using the documentation technique. Data were then analyzed by Item Response Theory (IRT) approach with the help of the BILOG program on all logistic parameter models, preceded by identifying item suitability with the model. Analysis concludes that: verbal subtest tends to compliment the 2-PL and 3-PL model, meanwhile, numerical subtest only fit the 2-PL model. Majority items of SAT have a good characteristic on index of item difficulty, item discrimination, and pseudoguessing, and based of test information function, SAT is accurate to be used in the 1-PL, 2-PL, and 3-PL IRT models for all level of ability.

<p>Penilaian merupakan akhir dari proses pembelajaran yang dapat dilakukan melalui ujian. Soal yang digunakan harus mampu mengukur kemampuan peserta didik. <em>Classical Test Theory</em> (CTT) dan <em>Rasch model</em> merupakan analisis statistika untuk menganalis butir soal. Desain dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif. Hasil analisis terhadap 50 soal menggunakan metode CTT, didapatkan hasil bahwa hanya 21 soal yang memenuhi kriteria <em>item difficulty</em> dan <em>item discriminant</em>. Analisis <em>Rasch model</em>, memberikan informasi bahwa secara keseluruhan kualitas soal dikatakan baik berdasarkan pola kurva <em>item information function</em>. Analisis ini juga memberikan informasi terdapat 42 soal yang layak karena memenuhi kriteria <em>item fit,</em> dan 8 soal yang harus dievaluasi lagi. Analisis menggunakan <em>Rasch model</em> lebih baik dibandingan dengan CTT, sehingga 8 soal yang tidak layak berdasarkan analisis tersebut harus dievaluasi dengan mengubah bentuk studi kasus pada soal tersebut dan membuat inovasi metode pembelajaran terkait materi pada 8 soal tersebut.</p><p><strong>Kata kunci</strong>: analisis soal, <em>Classical Test Theory</em>, <em>Rasch model</em>.</p>

The effects of three scale identification constraints in mixture IRT models were studied. A simulation study found no constraint effect on the mixture Rasch and mixture 2PL models, but the item anchoring constraint was the only one that worked well on selecting correct model with the mixture 3PL model.
