LOGICAL REASONING FOR STANDARDIZED GRADUATE EXAMINATIONS

Catalog description

This course offers an intensive, boot-camp training in logical reasoning which emphasizes the specific skills needed to solve the logic problems included on many standardized graduate admissions exams, such as the LSAT (Law School Admission Test), GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), and MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). Substantial portions of these exams assess critical reasoning and logical problem solving ability. This course offers a condensed review of logical techniques required to analyze and solve such problems, not only with the goal of improving student performance on exams, but also because examining the underlying structure of these reasoning problems helps to improve logical analysis and evaluation skills across a wide range of other purposes.
