Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions used to throw me off — until I realized they’re not about memorizing, but applying. This post is my personal method for decoding application-based questions and scoring full marks.
Subtopics & Answers:
What HOTS questions look like in Physics They often involve real-world scenarios — like explaining how airbags reduce injury or why a bridge expands in heat.
How I trained myself to think critically I practiced with trial papers and created mind maps to connect concepts across chapters.
Examples of HOTS-style questions and how I answered them E.g., “Explain how a transformer reduces energy loss in transmission” — 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 physics concepts to things like cooking, driving, and sports — it makes them easier to remember.
