How to guide for preparing HOTs question?
Step 1: Make the language of the question confusing and difficult to understand.
Step 2: Solving must require information that is difficult to remember or recall from memory such as shortcut formulas, unfamiliar terminology.
Step 3: Make the calculation extremely hard and don't give them a calculator.
Step 4: Must use concepts that are not taught in class or without supplying good content, or taught with bad pedagogy without using retrieval and spacing strategies that help the concepts to stick in the memory, questions must be completely different from classroom practice questions. And give the question that requires knowledge of whole without practicing its components.
As most students will not be able to solve it, it perfectly qualifies as HOTs question.
