Critical Thinking Skills which contained HOTS and LOTS were introduced by Bloom in 1956. At that time, Bloom introduced the concept of critical thinking level that arranged from simple to the complex level that named as Taxonomy Bloom. This research was aimed to analyze the proportion of HOTS and LOTS of questions/ tasks/ exercises in the Bahasa Inggris 10^th Grade book based on Bloom’s revised taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) and Stobaugh (2013). This research used descriptive quantitative as a method. Bahasa Inggris 10^th Grade book was used as the source of data. In collecting data, the researcher used analysis guidance that the indicators were adopted from Anderson, Krathwohl, and Stobaugh.

The result showed that the proportion of LOTS was 80.56%, and this answer was obtained from the combination of the proportion: 33.49% in C1, 39.243% in C2, and 7.83% in C3. Meanwhile, the proportion of HOTS was 19.83%, and the detail proportions of HOTS were: C4 was 9.61%, C5 was 5.4%, and C6 was 4.42%. Moreover, there were 1.106  questions/ tasks/ exercises for 15 Chapters; HOTS questions were 217, and LOTS questions were 899.     

Due to this book has an inadequate amount of HOTS questions; therefore the teacher might consider to create their own HOTS questions, and the teacher is able to look for other sources, for example from the internet.
