This matter very seen how psychology of students at they follow test.

See from some example of above can be said that to be able to uncover psychology phenomenon that happened in education, specially in mathematics education can use quantitative method, because quantitative method represent a method assessment of livelines of student covering cognate aspect, afektif and psikomotorik as size measure intellegence of student.
