The data collection technique used was to test the HOTS question instrument in the form of a written test consisting of 3 essay questions and an interview test. Based on the results of the analysis, the research findings show that students' critical thinking skills are still below 50%; the only markers they excelled at were focus and reasoning, which they achieved at 64% and 50%, respectively.
