Evaluation regarding  the  program  was  completed  concerning  material  and  the aspects of the media. The suggestion given by the expert were utilized to  enhance  the  utilization  of  the  computer-based  test.  The  validator recommends utilizing four steps; creating interface, coding, publishing, and packaging.
