This descriptive-exploratory quantitative research analyzes the psychometric characteristics of the Indonesian National History test using the Rasch model. Involving 200 respondents from urban-rural transition areas, data were analyzed using Quest to test reliability and validity via Infit MNSQ criteria. Results show high reliability and consistent logical validity. However, Wright Map visualization reveals a significant gap: average person ability (1.47 logits) far exceeds item difficulty (0.00 logits). The presence of misfit items indicates unexpected response patterns due to differing educational backgrounds. Overall, the test material is categorized as easy, necessitating more challenging instruments to measure the spectrum of participant ability more proportionally and objectively.
