Try out the requirements of the instrument by testing the validity, test the reliability of the test instrument, level of difficulty, and test the ability to differentiate the questions. Analysis prerequisite test using data normality test and linearity test. Data analysis technique using t-test analysis and simple regression test. The results showed that: (1) there was an increase in student learning outcomes before the average value was 42.59 and after the average value was 58.96. (2) the t test, namely the sig (2-tailed) provisions Tcount > Ttable 0.05 which shows that there is an influence. (3) simple regression test (R Square) of 0.366 which means that the magnitude of the effect is 36.6% and the other 63.4% is influenced by other variables
