Critical Reasoning is an analytical way of thinking
about issues for analyzing and evaluating information gathered from observation
and experience in order to come to certain conclusions.
Critical Reasoning clarifies goals, examines
assumptions, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence and assesses
conclusions. ‘Critical’ as used in the expression ‘critical reasoning’ denotes
the importance of thinking to an issue, question or problem of concern.
‘Critical’ in this context does not mean ‘disapproval’ or ‘negative’.
Critical thinking can occur whenever one judges,
decides, or solves a problem; in general, whenever one must figure out what to
believe or what to do, and do so in a reasonable and reflective way. In CAT 2012 examination, CR questions are important as they test the candidate’s
ability to think in a rational manner.
In the CAT exam you generally face a hypothetical
situation and the critical reasoning tests you on how well you understand what
you are reading. The strength of your logical powers is tested through these
questions. CR questions could play a significant role this year’s CAT with its
VA + LR mix.
