FAQ

Do you offer test preparation materials?

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. Memorizing information and definitions is not the key. A good critical thinking test will engage you in using your critical thinking because critical thinking is a process.  Achieving greater success with critical thinking requires practice. Regularly exercising your critical thinking skills builds strength.

We offer a wide selection of critical thinking resources under the CT Resources tab. You can search and find sample skills test questions and sample disposition items on this website. 

We highly recommend THINK Critically by Dr. Peter Facione, one of our test authors.  You can purchase that book or one of the many other good critical thinking text books on the market from one of many other online book outlets such as Amazon.com. 

To gain an overview of critical thinking and how the skills and habits of mind go together in problem solving and decision making, we suggest the essay Critical Thinking: What It Is and Why It Counts,”.
