Abstract: This study examines how the manufacture of measuring instruments that do not have dependency with the ability of the participants in the test, the form of a multiple choice test with three and four answer choices based Three Parameter Logistic Model (L3P). This study aimed at obtaining the form of multiple-choice test based on the function of information quality grain, so it can be used by the compilers of the test including the classroom teacher or field of study and the teaching evaluation. The method used is the application and manufacture of multiple-choice test, three and four answer options based on a model L3P and conducted field trials. The study was conducted in SMP on teaching science with 625 respondents. Assays used compiled L3P models draw upon multiple choice objective test items with three answer choices and four answer choices, and the obtained results of the study showed no effect or difference in the value of the information function grains in both forms of the test. Therefore, educators in the construction of achievement test based on a model L3P no need to question the amount of possible answers (options) on multiple choice tests.

Keywords: L3P IRT models, the number of answer choices, the value of information items
