The five sections
Each section has its own rules. Learn them one at a time, then combine them in a mock test.
Inference
How likely is it that this inference is true, based only on the facts you are given?
Learn and practise →
Recognition of Assumptions
Is the speaker taking this for granted when making the statement?
Learn and practise →
Deduction
Does this conclusion follow necessarily from the statements, and nothing but the statements?
Learn and practise →
Interpretation
Does this conclusion follow beyond a reasonable doubt from the paragraph?
Learn and practise →
Evaluation of Arguments
Is this argument both important and directly related to the question?
Learn and practise →

All five sections, 30 minutes, scored per section. Just like test day.
The RED model
Pearson, the publisher of the test, groups critical thinking into three skills. Your results here use the same grouping.
R
Recognise assumptions
Notice what is being taken for granted, and separate facts from opinion.
E
Evaluate arguments
Judge arguments on their strength and relevance, without letting your own views get in the way.
D
Draw conclusions
Decide what follows from the evidence: inference, deduction and interpretation.
