Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions used to throw me off — until I learned how to approach them logically. This post is my personal method for decoding tricky application-based questions.
Subtopics & Answers:
What HOTS questions look like in Biology Usually found in Paper 2 Section B — they ask you to apply concepts to unfamiliar scenarios.
How I trained my brain to think critically I practiced with past-year HOTS questions and created mind maps to connect topics.
Examples of HOTS-style questions and how I answered them E.g., “Explain how dehydration affects kidney function” — I break it down step-by-step.
Common traps and how to avoid them Misreading diagrams, confusing similar terms, and skipping keywords.
Using real-life examples to strengthen answers I relate biology concepts to everyday situations — like how vaccines work or why we sweat.
