The purpose of this research is to show how students of class VII with low, medium, and high ability levels apply their critical thinking skills. They will also see mistakes made when solving problems with single variable linear equations. This study used tests and was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner. The sample taken was 32 class VII students of SMP PGRI 1 Padalarang, pupils in junior high school in West Bandung Regency. The results of the three essay-based tests reveal that class VII-C junior high school students can think critically about one-variable linear equations; notably, the boys scored only 45% on the test, while the girls scored 71% out of 32 students.
