LTMPT claimed that the entrance test for public university contained several problems that require higher-order thinking skills meanwhile the high school students were more familiar with lower-order thinking skills items. The challenge for students was that they have to know the type of questions that were going to be used for entrance test and at the same time, they still have to work on the national exam level to graduate from the high school. This study aimed to find out the type of items on SBMPTN physics problems based on Bloom’s taxonomy and the characteristics of the items based on indicators of critical thinking skills and problem-solving. This research was a qualitative research used to study the SBMPTN physics problems from 2016, 2017, and 2018. The study result showed that both 2016 and 2017 had 46.67% of HOTS items based on revised Bloom taxonomy, and then in 2018 the number increased to 73.33%. Meanwhile for the critical thinking categories, the test in 2016 had 46.67% of the problems and it increased to 66.67% and 80% for the next two years. Lastly, the finding of problem-solving skills indicators in the SBMPTN physics problems were at 60%, 46.7%, and 60% in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
