The purpose of the research was to analyze the opinions of mathematics education students about HOTS questions. The method used in this research was a qualitative research method, using a descriptive approach. The subjects in this study were 21 students, were selected purposively. The data collection instrument is open-ended set of questions using the Google classroom application. Triangulation was conducted through interviews with four lecturers was conducted in order to increase the validation of the research. The results showed that there were two groups of student opinions about the HOTS question; difficult questions and three top-level levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. However, there are misconceptions of the students interpreting difficult problems and Bloom’s taxonomy level about HOTS problems. Not all difficult problems can be classified as HOTS problems, nor all problems on three top-level questions of Bloom’s taxonomy be categorized as HOTS problems.
