Higher-order thinking skill is conceived as the top end of Bloom's cognitive taxonomy. Cognitive domain of higher order thinking skill consists of analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The study aimed to describe the type of error made by vocational school students in solving problems involving higher order thinking skills based on Newman, Lai, Subanji & Mulyoto. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a test as data collecting technique. The respondents are 12 students of vocational school. The skill domain of analyzing contributes reading & decoding error, comprehension error, conceptual error, process skills error, and encoding error. The highest percentage of students' error in this domain is conceptual error (33%). The skill domain of evaluating contributes decoding & reading error, comprehension error, language interpretation error, process skills error, and encoding error. The highest percentage of students' error in this domain is encoding error (25%). The skill domain of creating contributes conceptual error, comprehension error, and process skill error. The highest percentage of students' error in this domain is conceptual error (42%). The results suggest mathematics teacher to explore deeply about their students' skill of analyzing, skill of evaluating, and skill of creating. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
