The test is composed of two sections:
- Scientific thinking
- Academic literacy/Critical Thinking
| 1. Scientific thinking (30 questions) |
|---|
| Mathematical Thinking |
| Procedural Thinking |
| Visual Thinking |
| 2. Academic literacy/Critical Thinking (30 questions) |
|---|
| Critical Thinking skills e.g. analysis, evaluation, inference, deductive skills, and inductive skills |
| Local expeditious reading, e.g. scanning and searching for specific details |
| Global expeditious reading, e.g. skimming for gist, searching for key ideas |
| Word- and sentence-level processes, e.g. word recognition, meaning of a preposition |
Section 2, Academic Literacy, includes items that assess the candidate’s ability to understand and use information presented in a n academic text. These reading passages are selected on the basis that they exhibit the textual characteristics of quasi-scientific research papers, but crucially without the expectation that the candidate will have a deep knowledge or understanding of the topic of the text. |
