Misunderstandings in the topic of physical mechanics often arise from a misunderstanding of the actual concepts. If not addressed promptly, these misconceptions can disrupt the learning process, especially when studying advanced physics material. To identify the types of misconceptions experienced by students in the subject of mechanics, a study was conducted involving high school students in the Bandung area, ranging from grades 10 to 12. The data from the diagnostic misconception test using a two-tier diagnostic test were categorized and the percentage of students classified into the categories of concept understanding, lack of understanding, and misconceptions were calculated. The results of the study revealed that 33.88% of students experienced misconceptions in mechanics, 33.58% of students did not fully understand the material, and 32.58% of students showed correct understanding. This study allows educators to identify which concepts students have misconceptions about and the reasons behind them.
