The study aims to find out the distribution of Higher Order Thinking Skills based on Anderson and Krathwohl in the teacher developed test prepared for the 10th grade students of Senior Hight School 1 Canduang. In this research used descriptive qualitative research. This research used content analysis method because the researcher identifies specified characteristics of the material in the test. The researcher used items test question and the analysis card as the data sources and the observation sheet of document analysis for collecting and analyzing the data to find out the result of the research. Based on the result of the research the distribution of the higher order thinking level is lower than the lower order thinking level. As the focus of this research, the distribution of the higher order thinking skill looks like: the analyze skill obtains the highest distribution by obtaining 12 out of 70 item test questions (17.14%) while the evaluate skill is in the second place by obtaining 2 out of 70 questions (2.85%) and the create skill obtains null distribution. It shows that the distribution of the higher order thinking skill in item test questions from the teacher-developed tests is unequal. It does not treat the higher order thinking skill properly, particularly the create skill which does not exist in the item test questions. It only gives more emphasis on the analyze skill by obtaining the highest number among the three skills in higher order thinking level.
