Consistent practice can significantly help ESL learners answer higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) questions more effectively. HOTS questions require learners to analyze, evaluate, and create ideas rather than just recall information. By consistently engaging with 100 HOTS questions and their model answers, ESL learners can develop familiarity with the question structures, vocabulary, and thought processes involved in high-level responses. This exposure builds their confidence, as they begin to see patterns and learn how to approach complex questions systematically.

Repeatedly working with model answers also allows learners to observe and internalize sophisticated language structures and critical thinking strategies. Over time, they learn not just to understand these questions but also to generate thoughtful responses on their own. This practice enhances both their language skills and their cognitive abilities, boosting their confidence to express complex ideas orally.

Indeed, consistent practice leads to improvement and promotes progress. Regular practice will definitely make them more proficient and comfortable in answering HOTS questions, equipping them with valuable skills for academic and real-world communication. Hopefully, the 100 questions and suggested answers significantly benefit your SPM 1119/3 candidates. All the best to each and everyone of them!
