No we do not offer specific test preparation materials.  Remember, a good critical thinking test is not going to be a test of factual knowledge about critical thinking.

A critical thinking skills test engages you with questions that require you to apply your skills.  Typically a critical thinking test will present some information or a scenario of some kind and then ask questions about it, but the questions will invite you to analyze or interpret the information presented, or to draw a reasonable conclusion based on that information.  A critical thinking dispositions measure typically invites the...

However, no health science knowledge is required of test takers, so the instruments can be used with entering students as well. There are similar CCTST forms created for Law, Military and Business professionals and professional education...

The generic CCTST has item scenarios set in everyday situations, whereas the HSRT items use contexts of the health sciences workplace. But no health science knowledge is tested by the HSRT and so the instrument c...

Each test's Specimen Kit includes information on how to administer that particular test. Generally speaking, skills tests can be administered in a 50 minute period, disposition and motivation inventories generally take 20 minutes. But times can vary by context.

Twice  is the most common number of times in most settings. The first test should be scheduled to provide diagnostic information (admissions, hiring, evaluation) and the second should be timed to examine gains as a result of your educational program. Testing can be done annually if these data are needed. As with all testing, care should be taken to motivate test takers to provide a true effort. 

Most of our tests of critical thinking skills are designed to be completed in 45 to 50 minutes.
