This research uses quantitative methods with data collection techniques using questionnaires and observations. Then test for normality, linearity, and multicollinearity. The data analysis technique used multiple linear regression and to test the research hypothesis using the t-test and F-test. The results of multiple linear regression analysis obtained the equation Y = 36.544 + 0.306X1 + 0.310X2, the t-test on the Critical Thinking Ability variable (X1) obtained tcount> t table (5.637 > 1.661), and the Internet Usage variable (X2) obtained tcount> ttable ( 5,668 > 1,661). While the F-test resulted in the value of Fcount>Ftable (42.811> 3.09). Furthermore, from the coefficient of determination (R2) obtained R square of 0.479 which means Critical Thinking Ability, and the use of the Internet contributed 47.9% to the Learning Achievement of High School Students in Economics Subjects.
