The data analysis used includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. In this study, some findings described the realm of cognition for the category of questions based on HOTS oriented from C4 to C6. Indicators of critical thinking skills analyzed include interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation.
