However, the essay test used by teachers in Indonesia has not been fully supported by sufficient quality evidence. There have been many studies focusing on the development of the essay test, but not many of them have applied the use of relevant measurement theory for the polytomous data. The evidence of content validity also has not been supported by its alignment with the curriculum. This study used alignment ind ex to   prove the content validity and IRT polytomous GPCM to determin e the characteristics of test items in order to produce a n essay test that could accurately measure the achievement of students on statistical materials. Method : Procedures of this study: (1) preparation of preliminary test, (2) trials, (3) interpretation. Trial was conducted involving 688 Junior High School students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Implications for Research and Practice : The use of the alignment index contribution to the verifica tion of content validity of essay test and the use of the IRT polytomous GPCM may provide reference for the use of appropriate measurement theory to determine the item characteristics of essay test.
