The aim of this study is to investigate differential item functioning (DIF) according to the visually handicapped situation of the individual for the math subtest in 2015-2016 academic year 1st term Central Joint Exam. Mantel-Haenszel (MH) method was used to determine the DIF. Study was carried out with 1017 students, including 583 without handicap; 282 with a low level of visually handicapped and 152 with total visual handicapped. All students with a low level of visually handicapped and total visual handicapped taking math subtest were included in this study. There are four choices in mathematics subtest 20 multiple-choice item. Tetrachoric correlation based on a factor analysis was performed in order to check that the data satisfies the one-dimensional assumption. At the end of the factor analysis, 14 items represented a one-dimensional structure. As a result of the research, math subtest a) according to individuals with visually handicapped and without handicapped b) according to individuals with total visual handicapped and without handicapped c) according to individuals with a low level of visually handicapped and without handicapped d) according to individuals with total visual handicapped and a low level of visually handicapped was found in ignorable level of DIF (A level).
