What does critical thinking

Testing mean?

Critical Thinking Tests covers everything you need to know

in order to pass any critical thinking assessment. This guide

contains guidance on the entire critical thinking test, from

getting started as a critical thinker, all the way up to how to

answer questions correctly in the exam. In addition, this

book gives readers the tools and knowledge to make them

better critical thinkers in everyday life – improving their

ability to create convincing arguments and identify the

flaws in arguments they face on a daily basis.

What does critical thinking

mean?

Critical thinking is the intellectual skill set that ensures

you can process and consider information, challenge

and analyse data, and then reach a conclusion that can

be defended and justified.

In the most simple terms, critical reasoning skills will make

sure that you are not simply accepting information at face

value with little or no supporting evidence.

It also means that you are less likely to be swayed by ‘false

news’ or opinions that cannot be backed with facts – which

is important in high-level jobs that require logical thinking.

Thinking Testing

Reluctant to do regular tests, Why?

1. Teachers consider testing too time-consuming,

taking away class time.

2. They identify testing with mathematics and

statistics.

3. They may think testing goes against humanistic

approaches to teaching.

4. They have gotten little guidance in constructing

tests in either pre-service or in-service training.

5. Teachers feel that the time and effort they put into

writing and correcting tests is not acknowledged

with additional pay or personal praise.

6. There is the personal implication that I would call

“the image inthe mirror”: Testing puts you face-to-

face with your own effectiveness as a teacher.

In this sense,testing can be as frightening and

frustrating to the teacher as it is for the students.

What is a critical thinking

test?

A critical thinking test assesses your ability to use a range

of logical skills to evaluate given information and make a

judgement. The test is presented in such a way that

candidates are expected to quickly scrutinise the evidence

presented and decide on the strength of the arguments.

Critical thinking tests show potential employers that you do

not just accept data and can avoid subconscious bias and

opinions – instead, you can find logical connections

between ideas and find alternative interpretations.

This test is usually timed, so quick, clear, logical thinking

will help candidates get the best marks. Critical thinking

tests are designed to be challenging, and often used as

part of the application process for upper-management-

level roles.

Which professions use critical

thinking tests, and why?

Typically, critical thinking tests are taken as part of the

application process for jobs that require advanced skills

in judgement, analysis and decision making.

The higher the position, the more likely that you will

need to demonstrate reliable critical reasoning and

good logic.

The legal sector is the main industry that uses critical

thinking assessments – making decisions based on facts,

without opinion and intuition, is vital in legal matters.

A candidate for a legal role needs to demonstrate their

intellectual skills in problem-solving without pre-existing

knowledge or subconscious bias – and the critical thinking

test is a simple and effective way to screen candidates.

Another industry that uses critical thinking tests as part of

the recruitment process is banking. In a similar way to the

legal sector, those that work in banking are required to

make decisions without allowing emotion, intuition or

opinion to cloud coherent analysis and conclusions.

Critical thinking tests also sometimes comprise part of

the recruitment assessment for graduate and

management positions across numerous industries.

Why Must Teachers Test?

1. Testing tells teachers what students can or cannot

do—in other words, tests show teachers how

successful their teaching has been. It provides

wash back for them to adjust or change course

content and teaching styles if necessary.

2. Testing tells students how well they are

progressing. This may stimulate them to take

learning more seriously.

3. By identifying students’ strengths and

weaknesses, testing can help identify areas for

remedial work.

4. Testing will help evaluate the effectiveness of the

program, coursebooks, materials, and methods.

The format of the test:

which skills are tested?

The test itself, no matter the publisher, is multiple choice.

As a rule, the questions present a paragraph of information

for a scenario that may include numerical data. There will

then be a statement and a number of possible answers.

The critical thinking test is timed, so decisions need to be

made quickly and accurately; in most tests there is a little

less than a minute for each question. Having experience

of the test structure and what each question is looking for

will make the experience smoother for you.

There are typically five separate sections

in a critical thinking test, and each section

may have multiple questions.

Inference

Inference questions assess your ability to judge whether

a statement is true, false, or impossible to determine

based on the given data and scenario. You usually have

five possible answers: absolutely true, absolutely false,

possibly true, possibly false, or not possible to determine.

Assumptions

In this section, you are being assessed on your ability

to avoid taking things for granted. Each question gives

a scenario including data, and you need to evaluate

whether there are any assumptions present.

Deduction

Here you are given a scenario and a number of

deductions that may be applicable. You need to assess

the given deductions to see which is the logical conclusion

– does it follow?

Interpretation

In the interpretation stage, you need to read and analyze

a paragraph of information, then interpret a set of possible

conclusions, to see which one is correct. You are looking

for the conclusion that follows beyond reasonable doubt.

Evaluation of Arguments

In this section, you are given a scenario and a set of

arguments that can be for or against. You need to

determine which are strong arguments and which are

weak, in terms of the information that you have. This

decision is made based on the way they address the

scenario and how relevant they are to the content.

Planning Stage

A-Specifications.

Even if the specifications were done by the

textbook writer, the teacher will have to select

what s/he considers most important, and not

what is easiest to test, in order to draw up a

set of specifications which reflects the emphasis

of the teaching

B-Sampling.

Tests should cover the language, grammar,

vocabulary, phonology, functions, and skill areas.

Therefore, they have to cover both the content

input and the activities or tasks. A test of

communicative competence should test usage

as well as the ability to use the language

appropriately.

Development Stage

1. Compile written and spoken source materials

to fit contents of the program.

2. Select activities that best measure performance.

3. Select test format—multiple choice, true/false,

gap filling, etc.—taking into account channels,

written or spoken, and strategy use.

4. Avoid items that are ambiguous, tricky,

or overlapping.

The difficulty should lie in the text and not in

the question.

5. Include clear and unambiguous instructions, with

brief and well-chosen wording and some examples.

6. Design a clear layout which will not induce

mistakes. Make the test attractive, and similar

to the layout of the textbook.We recommend

variety, such as the use of pictures, different

typefaces, and any element which can reduce

anxiety.

7. Thoughtfully consider the scoring and marking

systems. Testing is a teamwork activity not a

solitary one.

The marking system should be checked by at least

another teacher. The marking criteria should be set

before hand and candidates must be informed as

how they will be scored.

8. Analyze the test statistically.

9. Consider the pedagogical effects that the test

may have on teaching.If we want our test to

influence teaching and learning, we should ask

our students and ourselves the following

questions:

Points to consider to do effective test:

• What do students think about the fairness of the test?

• What poor results are due to poor stem construction?

How could the items be improved?

• What poor results are due to poor or insufficient teaching?

• What poor results are due to the coursebook or

other materials?

• What areas of weakness in student performance

have we detected for remedial work?

• Can we make assumptions on the relation

between teaching and learning?

• What changes should be done in our class as a

result of the test feedback?

10. Present the test and feedback results to the

students with the aim of reviewing and revising the

teaching of content or skills in which the test has

shown students to be weak.

How best to prepare for a critical

thinking test

The best way to prepare for any type of aptitude test is

to practice, and critical thinking tests are no different.

Taking practice tests, as mentioned above, will give

you confidence as it makes you better understand

the structure, layout and timing of the real tests,

so you can concentrate on the actual scenarios

and questions.

Practice tests should be timed. This will help you get

used to working through the scenarios and assessing

the conclusions under time constraints – which is a

good way to make sure that you perform quickly as

well as accurately.

In some thinking skills assessments, a timer will be built in,

but you might need to time yourself.

Regular practice will also help you to identify if there

are any sections of the critical thinking test that you

need to work on. Most tests will provide an explanation

to each answer, as in the examples above.
