Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions used to confuse me — until I realized they’re all about applying concepts, not just memorizing facts. This post is my personal method for decoding tricky application-based questions.
Subtopics & Answers:
What HOTS questions look like in Chemistry They often involve real-life scenarios — like explaining corrosion prevention or water purification.
How I trained myself to think critically I practiced with trial papers and created concept maps to connect ideas across chapters.
Examples of HOTS-style questions and how I answered them E.g., “Explain how electrolysis is used in metal extraction” — I break it down step-by-step.
Common traps and how to avoid them Misreading diagrams, skipping keywords, and giving vague answers.
Using analogies and real-life examples to strengthen answers I relate chemistry concepts to cooking, cleaning, and even skincare — it makes them easier to remember.
