Abstract: The Framework for K-12 Science Education and NGSS: For States, By States represent a substantial change in science learning standards in the form of a three-dimensional learning framework as the latest science learning standard. The purpose of this study was to analyze the need for a test development based on a three-dimensional learning framework on the topic of light waves in high school. The research subjects were 140 respondents consisting of 20 teachers and 120 students in the high school of Purwakarta area. The research used a 3DLQP questionnaire as an instrument, which accumulates respondent characteristics, prior knowledge of three-dimensional learning, tests used in school, and criticism and suggestions. Data collection was carried out using interviews, questionnaires, national curriculum documents, and NGSS documents. Data analysis utilized the triangulation of data sources. The study results were to elaborate student needs for developing tests and assessment rubrics from the teacher and student perceptions.
