About the Critical Thinking Course

Critical Thinking Appraisal is a challenging test administered by companies worldwide, and most frequently by law firms, for the test’s ability to measure critical predictors for future success in roles which require an individual to demonstrate clarity when dealing with multiple perspectives, making vital distinctions between fact and assumption.

The Tests deal with 5 main categories:

  • Evalutating Arguments
  • Evaluating Assumptions
  • Evaluating Deductions
  • Evaluating Inferences
  • Interpreting Information

Each category effectively measures a number of dimensions of the candidate’s critical thinking ability, and as such is designed to be very challenging by using questions which will confuse and mislead the unprepared.

Candidates can overcome these challenges with the correct preparation. Prepterminal’s Critical Thinking Prep Course has been built piece-by-piece to effectively walk test-takers through every question type with detailed guides and practice sets, so that you can eliminate the mystery surrounding this challenging exam and focus your efforts on preparing for success.

Foundations of Critical Thinking

Critical thinking embodies a disciplined, systematic approach to actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to derive sound conclusions. This intellectual process hinges on several key components, including analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. Contrary to logical thinking, which revolves around logical reasoning and objective assessment, creative thinking involves the generation of original ideas and innovative solutions through imaginative processes.

Hey, if you're getting ready to take the CritiCall examination, I've got a tip for you. You should definitely use this material that I used when I prepared for the test. It worked for me, and I passed the exam easily. This resource is the real deal and covers all the knowledge you need to know for the test. I found it extremely helpful, and I think it's a must-have for all first-time applicants. Trust me, you won't regret using it.

The information provided in this prep course is accurate. The guides explain the correct approach to the multiple-choice questions, and the Criticall simulation course provides valuable tips on time management and other aspects of the exam and recruitment process. Thanks to this prep course, I was able to pass the Critical Test and secure a job with Rural/Metro Corporation.

Nathaniel L.

I've taken the CritiCall test before, but I'm gearing up for an upcoming opportunity at the NY Police Department, so I wanted to make sure I'm fully prepared. I gotta say, this prep material is the most accurate and reliable one I've come across. Thanks a lot for creating it! It's been a huge help in getting me ready for the test. I may even come back to use it again in the future, but hopefully, I won't have to if I get the opportunity. Fingers crossed!

Marcey F

The preparation package includes valuable advice and tactics for enhancing not just reading speed, but also comprehension. Although some of the tips and strategies may seem obvious, it is helpful to be reminded of them. While there are some repeated points throughout the material, this reinforces the course's key messages.

Sophia W.

The prep course is packed with valuable information, but unfortunately, I didn't pass the CRITICALL test due to my typing speed. Despite typing at 67 words per minute, I struggled with unexpected emergency broadcasts during the exam. However, this material was helpful for the multiple choice questions, and the map reading section was important. I highly recommend this prep course for anyone preparing for the test.

This prep pack can help you prepare for the Criticall police test. If you study it thoroughly and complete the included tests successfully, you will likely be well-prepared for the actual exam. The tests in the prep pack closely resemble the real thing and can provide valuable guidance for becoming a dispatcher. I currently work for the NJ Police Department and found this prep pack to be a helpful resource.

Harry R

Thanks to this prep pack, I passed the Criticall test and now work for Convergys. The study guide is excellent and provides a step-by-step approach. The best part is that it explains the right answers and why they are correct.

Dwight J

The material in this prep pack closely matched the official Criticall exam I took this month. One thing that really stood out to me was the importance of typing speed. I struggled a bit during the exam because I wasn't quick enough, but the practice I did on typing helped me save time in other sections and finally pass.

Alberto A

Although I could have saved some time by skipping a few of the math-related sections, I'm glad I purchased this prep course from Prepterminal. It provided a clear idea of the types of questions on my exam, and the practice test at the end was a perfect reflection of the actual exam. I highly recommend this prep course for anyone who wants to excel on the 911 operator exam.

Anuj G.

This resource is valuable for anyone considering a career as a dispatcher. While the price for the prep course is a bit high, the quality of the exercises is very good. I highly recommend this online course for anyone interested in becoming a dispatcher or curious about the 911 call process.
