Research on the development of critical thinking skills-based physics test instruments has been carried out which aims to develop instruments that meet the aspects of validity, reliability, differentiation, difficulty level and deceptive effectiveness. The type of research used is the Borg & Gall model with the stages of analyzing the problems and needs of the critical thinking test instrument, planning, developing critical thinking-based test instruments, validating material experts, construction and language, revision of expert validation, small-scale testing, small scale instrument revision, large scale test, and large scale instrument revision. Expert validation test results obtained valid test instruments. Small scale test results obtained 93% valid items, very reliable, 87% good difference power, 93% moderate difficulty and 67% good distractors. Large scale test results obtained 87% valid, reliable, 73% good difference power, 97% moderate difficulty, and 93% good distractors so that the test instrument is feasible to measure critical thinking skills.
