For HOTS questions, in the level of evaluating question, it was mostly created by English teachers in Padang Pariaman. Related to problems faced by English teachers in creating HOTS questions, most of teachers have difficulty in constructing HOTS questions for students who have lower level of critical thinking.

Since designing a good test item is not easy, well training and knowledge about constructing test items are necessary for English teachers.
