The use of computers in testing has recently expanded to include more extensive exams. The global problems demand students to be digitally literate creative highly motivated and able to produce an invention with the explicit goal of preparing for tomorrow s challenges.

The steps include conducting needs analysis formulating the test specification/blueprint item writing item writing review test installing test and ICT expert review try-out item revision and finally publishing the final form. This research proposed additional aspects try-out to determine reliability item difficulty and discriminating power by using Anates 4.0 program. From the Anates analysis the reliability test score was 0.94. It is categorized as acceptable and fair reliability because the standard reliability of multiple-choice items is 0.90. From level of difficulty it has moderate arrangement of level of difficulty since it has 60% of the test that has acceptable difficulty level. From the item discrimination it has good quality because 82% of the items have good item discrimination.
