The area of Thinking Skills that involves scenario-based logic problems where the student must deduce a specific detail using a passage of information governed by a set of rules. This is the 2nd largest area of Thinking Skills, making up around 30 percent of the Thinking Skills exam. In order to master this area, a student must first understand how to identify the objective of a problem, interpret complex instructions and formulate step-by-step strategies.
The area of Thinking Skills that involves visual-based problems where the student must visualise and perform actions to an image following a complex set of instructions. This is the smallest area of Thinking Skills, making up around 10 percent of the Thinking Skills exam. In order to master this area, a student must first understand how to
generate and manipulate mental images, visualise an object from different angles and identify trends in a series of related images.
The area of Thinking Skills that involves mathematics-based logic problems where the student must deduce a specifc detail by applying a set of complex rules to a passage of information. The question may either require calculations or involve a mathematical concept. This is the 3rd largest area of Thinking Skills, making up around 20 percent of the Thinking Skills exam. In order to master this area, a student must first understand fundamental mathematics theory, how to identify the objective of a problem and interpret complex instructions.
