Misconceptions in biology can prevent students from gaining a deeper understanding of biological concept. There is a five-tier diagnostic test that can explore the misconceptions experienced by students. The purpose of this research is to develop a five-tier diagnostic test that is feasible to use to identify student misconceptions with Rasch model analysis. The research method used is quantitative descriptive, and the sample was 103 people with a sampling technique in purposive sampling, which is a purposeful sampling technique, namely the school that is the research location experiencing misconceptions related to the concept of cells. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the five-tier diagnostic test developed was very feasible to use as an instrument to identify students' misconceptions on the concept of cells. Each indicator is represented by several items that have been tested for validity, reliability, difficulty level and differentiation using Rasch model analysis with the help of the Winsteps program. Based on the analysis with the Rasch model, out of a total of 36 items that were externally validated, 23 items were obtained that met the eligibility criteria and were declared valid for implementation.
