Data were obtained from 134 students of the population and Environmental Education Study Program at Jakarta State University, using 25 question items in the form of HOTS multiple choices. Meanwhile, QUEST was the analysis technique used to examine the validity, reliability, difficulty level, and questions' differentiator of the data.
