The English learning process aims to develop students' ability to use English to communicate in everyday life. However, the process and assessment of learning English so far have only relied on one skill, reading, while English language skills consist of four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). This study aims to explore the psychometric properties in the form of validity and reliability of an English cognitive test instrument based on a blend of the 2013 Curriculum and the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). This study is an exploratory descriptive study using a quantitative approach. The English cognitive test instruments were developed by the researcher by integrating content from the Indonesian curriculum and CEFR. The sample used in this study was 108 students from a senior secondary school. The instrument used in this research is an integrated English cognitive test instrument examining listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The techniques for analyzing the data are V. Aiken and exploratory factor analysis. The results of the development of this integrated cognitive test instrument show that this integrated English cognitive test instrument has been proven valid with most of the loading coefficients >.07 and reliable with 0.696. The integrated English cognitive test instrument developed can be used to measure senior secondary school students’ English skills.
