. Students of prospective mathematics teachers often design mathematical test instruments based on the questions contained in the mathematics textbook. The question can be modified or directly using the existing problem. This certainly does not train students creativity in designing mathematical test instruments, especially about applications in the social, economic and environmental fields. This study aims to analyze the creativity of prospective mathematics teachers in designing mathematical test instruments. This research was carried out qualitatively a type of phenomenology with 5 respondents namely students of prospective mathematics teachers. Based on the results of in-depth interviews and documentation of mathematical test instrument designs by prospective mathematics teacher students, the results showed that prospective mathematics teacher students had difficulty in designing application problems in the environmental field. This is because students are not used to designing application questions. For social and economic aspects, some students are able to design the problem but the problems given are limited to using examples in the social and economic fields without incorporating elements of character values in them.
