To determine the relationship between variables using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test between the pre-test and post-test values, obtained a Z value of -4.582 with a p value of .000 <0.05, so there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test values. The average pre-test with 30 questions given to participants was 53.56 with a standard deviation of 11.04. While the post-test average of 30 questions given to participants was 67.33 with a standard deviation of 9.45.

From 30 questions, from pre-test to post-test there was a change in error rate as follows, 70% had an increase, 6.67% remained and 23.33% had a decrease.
