The ability of multiple representations and scientific consistency are two things closely related to students’ conceptual understanding. The research has been carried out aims to find out the ability of multiple representations and scientific consistency of high school students in Newton’s laws. The multiple representations measured includes verbal, vector, motion map, graph, and bar chart representations. The scientific consistency measured is the consistency of students in correctly and consistently answering each of the three questions which presents different representations. The research method used is survey. The research instruments used were a multiple representations test consisting of 5 items to measure multiple representations ability and Representational Variant of Force Concept Inventory (R-FCI) test consisting of 27 items. The research samples consisted of 102 students from class X, XI, and XII at SMA Negeri 14 Bandung who were selected using stratified random sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed using the Zipgrade Item Analysis Tool and R-FCI Consistency Analysis Tool. The results showed that the type of representation that is most mastered by students is vector representation and most students are categorized as inconsistent.
