Critical Thinking will help any A level student to organise their arguments, and therefore improve their performance in any academic subject. The course is especially recommended for students who intend to sit the reasoning tests for entrance to courses in Medicine or Law, or for Oxford or Cambridge universities. NB Critical Thinking is an enrichment course and is taken in addition to the students’ other AS/A Level subject choices. It is accepted by many universities for UCAS points, but is not usually considered to be a full course in terms of academic content, as it is about learning skills rather than academic knowledge.
