The level of difficulty students experience in learning mathematics can help teachers design learning activities that are appropriate for students' abilities and foster an independent learning environment. Google Forms and jMetric can be used as alternative software to construct adaptive assessments that accurately detect students' level of difficulty in learning mathematics and are easy to apply. The results of calibrating the content of the instrument with jMetric show that the overall instrument is in the “fairly good” category with a stratum of 2.81. Meanwhile, the development of adaptive…
