The results indicated that participant 49 demonstrated the highest ability, whereas participants 15 and 22 as the lowest abilities. Question number 21 was identified as the most difficult, while question number 5 was the easiest. The Rasch Model revealed a high reliability of the questions, with a coefficient of 0.91. furthermore, the analysis indicated that question number 4,11,12,13,14,15, and 18 had low validity and should be discarded.
