Abstract
Although learning has been implemented online because of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic, it is hoped that it does not eliminate the essence of the implementation of the revised K-13 curriculum, namely the scientific approach to learning process. The implementation of the scientific approach will structure the mind set of students to criticize a problem in their everyday life. This is what is required in the implementation of the revised K-13 curriculum, where critical thinking is a high-level thinking ability that students must familiarize with. HOTS questions are a measurement instrument used to measure higher order thinking skills, namely thinking skills that do not just remember, restate, or refer without processing. The purpose of this study is to: 1) determine the HOTS-based test instrument for high school critical thinking that has been used in the learning process and learning evaluation. 2). Know the level of difficulty and difference in power of the instrument and the effectiveness of the answer keys for high school tests. This research is a descriptive research with qualitative and quantitative approaches to documentation study. The findings in the study indicate that the test instruments used at the high school level have not met the criteria for HOTS high-level thinking. As for the results of the calculation of the difficulty level of the test, 8% of the questions were in the easy category, 46% in the medium category and 46% in the difficult category. For the difference in power category, 42% of the questions were in the bad category, 33% were in the enough category, while 4% were in the good category and 21% of the questions were in the very good category. The limitation of this research is the HOTS category of critical thinking test instruments..

Qualitative analysis is the validity of the contents of the questions, namely examining the items from the aspects of material, construction, language, and their relationship with Critical Thinking Indicators according to Fasi one, analysing the distribution of the items based on the cognitive domain of Revised Bloom's Taxonomy, while analysing the Analysis of Test Instruments Based on Hots Critical Thinking on Physics in The Senior High School questions quantitatively by calculating the difficulty level index, index distinguishing power and the effectiveness of tricking questions
The difference power obtained from the results of the analysis of the test instruments at SMA Negeri 1 Per cut Sei Tuan was included in the category of distinguishing power of multiple-choice questions, very bad category 21% (5 items), 42% (10 items) was in the bad category, the questions were categorized as sufficient 33% (8 items), and 4% (1 item) in good category
Summary
The strategic plan of the State University of Medan for 2016-2020 was to launch and develop Unimed into a teaching and research institution that excels in producing scientific works. The type of programs that would be developed by Unimed was research, dedication, and science and technology that will be useful for solutions to problems in education, business, and the industrial worlds respectively. Unimed must produce various learning developments, learning models and media, software, materials, and systems for solutions to educational problems at the center of learning innovation and research. Based on the Unimed Strategic Plan, the Physics Education Study Program tried to support and function through research activities that can be utilized by stakeholders (industry, business, and education). The Minister of Education and Culture, Mr Nadiem Makariem made a.
