ABSTRACT
Another problem is student readiness. Computer-based measurement models continue to develop from the Computer Base Test (CBT) to the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). Accurate measurement of student abilities is needed in the exam process. The use of paper and pencil test (PBT) and CBT is not maximal in providing student ability results so it requires a CAT model measurement approach. This paper describes the challenges and strategies to overcome all obstacles in applying CAT in the cognitive, psychological and technological aspects of knowledge. The purpose of this research is to analyze school challenges and strategies in implementing the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). This research is qualitative phenomenology. Data were collected through interviews with 10 participants in Yogyakarta Indonesia. Research participants are Prokor teachers at Junior High School (SMP) and High School (SMA). Data analysis is done by describing the data qualitatively using the reduction analysis in the form of identification of statements, determination of theme category, and reduction. The results showed that the school should provide facilities that support CAT, ensure the smooth and stability of the internet and electrical connections, conduct continuous human resources training, give students training and motivation and set up budget management for CAT implementation. By implementing this strategy, the effectiveness of CAT implementation in Indonesia can be improved.
