These there cognitive dimensions could be called as High order thinking skills (HOTS). Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the use of basic competences on test items based on content validity and the use of HOTS.

The findings showed that the content validity of semester assessment reached 0.94 and 0.96 on final year assessment. It could be concluded that these assessments had good content validity. In addition, the use of HOTS was found on final year assessment which 15 question items were categorized as HOTS items, where creating (C6) was the highest cognitive level.
