The purpose of this study is to analyze the reading questions in reading comprehension section of TOEFL book from critical thinking perspective. Using Deborah Phillip’s Longman Introductory Course for the TOEFL test: Diagnostic Pre-Test and TOEFL Post-Test (2004), the data consists of one hundred multiple choices of reading questions. Six types of critical thinking skills proposed by Facione (2013) are used by this study to reveal what types of critical thinking skills are mostly reflected in reading comprehension section of TOEFL book. The results show that inference skill is mostly needed by the test-takers to solve the problems, while self-regulation skill is not needed in reading comprehension section of TOEFL test.
