Anates 4.0.9 is a software tool that enables systematic analysis of test items based on psychometric criteria, offering educators an accessible and reliable way to evaluate student learning outcomes. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using HOTS-based (Higher Order Thinking Skills) open-ended questions in junior high school assessments through the support of Anates software. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, the research was conducted with seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Pontianak. Data were collected through observation and documentation, including student worksheets and responses. Analysis was performed using Anates 4.0.9, evaluating fifteen test items. Results indicated a very high level of reliability (0.95), strong item validity (average 0.71), moderate item difficulty (average 0.45), and very good discrimination power (average 0.43). These findings highlight the effectiveness of Anates in producing high-quality assessment instruments, supporting the development of critical thinking and inclusive evaluation practices in science and mathematics education. © 2026 Author(s)
