Abstract. This research is a descriptive study that aims to know the description of  Multi representations Ability In Solving Physics Problems For Class XI Students of SMAN 6 Wajo. The sample used in this study were students of class XI MIPA SMAN 6 Wajo for the 2021/2022 academic year which amounted to 79 students obtained randomly. The research instrument used was in the form of a multi representation ability test on simple harmonic motion material made in the form of essay questions as many as 10 items. The results obtained indicate that the multi-representation ability of students is in the medium category with a percentage of 81,01%. The percentage of scores and categories for each indicator is obtained for the indicator "change graphic representation to verbal" of 72,15%, on the indicator "change verbal representation to mathematical" the percentage is 53,16%, and for the indicator "changing the representation of the image to mathematical" is at a percentage of 86.08%, each indicator is in a medium category. . Based on the results of the study it was concluded that some students have the ability In answering the questions, representing the representation in question is in the medium category.

Keywords: multi representation, representation, simple harmonic motion
