Abstract

Mathematics is very functional to sharpen the logic of students thinking to reason correctly. However, for some students, mathematics becomes very frightening because it is considered too challenging to learn. Based on these assumptions, it’s necessary to conduct a study of the acquisition of mathematical scores, bearing in mind that each student, starting from the basic education level up to tertiary institutions, is required to follow the subject. A students math score can be by the students actual ability, but there is often an imbalance between the score and the students ability. Students who can get low scores and students who are less able to get high scores. This similar condition is called an improper score. The purpose of this study was to analyze the irregularities of mathematical scores in the no penalty sampling model. The research data were analyzed based on classical measurement theory with experimental method. The results of the data analysis showed that the fairness index of the five-choice multiple-choice test scores was higher than the three options. Thus it can be concluded that the scores of students on the five-choice multiple-choice test are more reasonable compared to the score of students on the three-choice multiple-choice test.
