Students were expected to not only have lower thinking skills but also higher thinking skills too. We need a measuring instrument to understand the student’s higher-order thinking skills. One way of analyzing is through structured essay questions. This could help us show the students higher-order thinking skills and help them in solving the questions to the problems systematically. This research used the research and development method which produced structured essay questions. This study aimed to understand the character of structured essay questions that can validate the students higher-order thinking skills. And, to determine the level of effectiveness of structured essay questions for measuring students thinking skills on sound wave materials. This research was held in SMA Negeri 2 Purworejo. The feasibility test was done by giving a product feasibility questionnaire to experts and students. The product effectiveness test was done by calculating the correlation between student daily test scores on sound wave materials by using non-structured essay questions and student test scores using structured essay questions. The result of the feasibility structured essay test based on expert opinion was 87.65%; therefore, the product category was worthy. The result of the effectiveness test showed the correlation coefficient of student daily test scores using non-structured essay question with daily test scores using structured essay questions was 88.9% and included in very good criteria. So, it can be concluded that structured essay questions on sound wave materials are valid and effective to measure the students higher-order thinking skills.
