This study aimed to find information around the Na­tional Examination on Elementary School Mathematics in the 2012/2013 academic year in Kediri. The in­formation includes: (1) the underlying attributes of the test items, (2) the materials in the questions that cause many students to make mistakes, (3) types of mistakes made by the students, (4) the location of the dominant student's misconceptions, and (5) the main cause of the student's misconceptions.
