This research involved 1011 student responses to final term assessment test of natural sciences course for 8th grade in odd semester of academic year 2016/2017 in Tegal Regency, Indonesia. The data were taken from four junior high schools; SMPN I Dukuhturi, SMPN I Suradadi, SMPN 2 Slawi and SMPN 2 Dukuhwaru. The scoring was done using Rasch model and the person fit index used Sijtsma’s Ht person fit statistic (Ht). The result showed: (1) 14% of the students attending final term assessment of natural sciences course for 8th grade in the odd semester of academic year 2016/2017 in Tegal Regency, Indonesia were detected of having DPF.
