Class XI IPA 1 as Experimental group, thaught by using Probing Prompting method and class XI IPA 2 as control group, thaught by using direct method. The instrument of this research was multiple choice test, consist of 20 items. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result showed that = 12,26 was higher than = 2,024 at df was 38 and significance rate was 0,05. Based on the result, the alternative hyphothesis ( ) was accepted. It meant that by using Probing Prompting method gave significant effect on students’ critical reading. So the finding of the study indicated that students’critical reading in learning analytical exposition text by using Probing Prompting method was more significant.
