We call it \"conditional reasoning\". You will see that you already do some of this kind of thinking. The sample questions make clear what is expected.\u003Cbr>DO NOT GUESS WlLDLY. There is a scoring penalty for guessing wrong. If you think you have the answer, but are not sure, mark that answer. But if you have no idea, then skip the question.\u003Cbr>There are 6 sample questions, then 72 others. You should work as quickly as you can, but do not rush. This is not a speed test. Once you do the samples, you will be able to move right along.\u003Cbr>DO NOT TURN THE PAGE UNTIL YOUR EXAMINER TELLS YOU TO DO SO . |\n\n© 1964 by R. H. Ennis  \nPublished by Illinois Critical Thinking Proiect, Department of Educational Policy Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  \nAnswering the questions:  \nIn answering each question, use only what you are told in that question. In order to do this, you should imagine that your mind is blank, because some of the things you are told are obviously false. Even so, you should suppose that they are true--for that question only.  \nYou will be given one or more sentences with which to think. You will then be given another sentence, about which you must decide, using only what you were told.  \nThere are three possible answers. This is what they mean:  \nA. YES It must be true.  \nB. NO It can't be true.  \nC. MAYBE It may be true or it may not be true.You weren't told enough to be certain whether it is \"YES\" or \"NO\" .  \nThe meaning of the possible answers is given at the top of each page to help you remember. Each question has only one correct answer.  \nMark your answers on this booklet by drawing a circle around the right answer. Remember: If you have no idea what the answer is, skip the question and go on to the next. Do not guess wildly, but if you think you know, then answer the question.  \n\n| Sample questions:\u003Cbr>Read the first question and see how it is marked. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. Suppose you know that\u003Cbr>Bill is next to Sam.\u003Cbr>Then would this be true?\u003Cbr>Sam is next to Bill. |  |\n|  | 1. A. YES\u003Cbr>B. NO\u003Cbr>C. MAYBE\u003Cbr>|\n| The correct answer is A, \"YES\" . If Bill is next to Sam, then Sam must be next to Bill. It must be true, so acircle is drawn around \"YES\" .\u003Cbr>Here is another sample. This time you circle the answer. |  |\n| 2. Suppose you know that\u003Cbr>The sparrow is over the\u003Cbr>hawk.\u003Cbr>Then would this be true?\u003Cbr>The hawk is over the sparrow. |  |\n|  | 2. A. YES\u003Cbr>B. NO\u003Cbr>C. MAYBE |\n\nYou should have circled B. \"NO\" . If the sparrow is over the hawk, then the hawk can't be over the sparrow. It can't be true.  \nHere is a reminder of the meaning of the possible answers:  \nA. YES It must be true.  \nB. NO It can't be true.  \nC. MAYBE It may be true or it may not be true.You weren't told enough to be certain whether it is \"YES\" or \"NO\" .  \n\n| Circle the answer to this next sample. Be careful: |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 3. Suppose you know that\u003Cbr>Jane is standing near Betsy.\u003Cbr>Then would this be true?\u003Cbr>Betsy is standing near Jane. |  |\n|  | 3. A. YES\u003Cbr>B. NO\u003Cbr>C. MAYBE |\n| The correct answer is C, \"MAYBE\" . Even is Jane is standing near Betsy, Betsy may be sitting. Betsy might be standing near Jane, but she might be sitting near Jane, or something else. You were not told enough to be certain about it, so \"MAYBE\" is the anwer.\u003Cbr>Circle the answer to this next sample question.
