| Summary: | Technology improvement has signifficantly supported the improvements of assessment. Computer Based-Test appears as the improvement in assessment which offer many advantages and provide valid assessment for critical thinking. Critical thinking can be an important aspect to build higher order thinking in Indonesia. The ability to think critically is one essential aspect for success in the contemporary world where the rate at which new knowledge created is rapidly accelerating. The purpose of this study was to investigate Science Virtual Test (Computer-Based Test) as the instrument to assess students' critical thinking on digestive system topic for 8th grade. The method used in this research was descriptive method. The participant was 98 students from Junior High School "X" in East Bandung. The Science Virtual Test consist of 30 questions which cover 26 sub elements of Inch's Critical Thinking on the topic of digestive system. The data results were analyzed by Anatest Program Version 4.1.0. and IBM SPSS Statistic Version 23. The result shows that Science virtual Test which is used as the instrument has a high cronbach's alpha and prosperous validity. It means Science Virtual Test can be used to assess students' critical thinking. The critical thinking average score of students was 59,15 which categorized into moderate achiever. The element of Inch's Critical Thingking which gain the highest score was point of view and the lowest score was concept. Generally students did not encounter significant problem when implementing Science Virtual Test. Students also have a good and positive impression during and after using Science Virtual Test. Generally, Science Virtual Test was well implemented to assess studets' critical on digestive system topic for 8th grade. Key Words : Science Virtual Test, Inch's Critical Thinking, Digestive System, Students' Impression. ABSTRACT Kemajuan teknologi secara signifikan sudah mendukung perkembangan pada bidang penilaian.
