although i havent taken it...bt have heard dat its pretty easy to score in it..general knowledge counts well in it..  :)

google:
Yeah i have taken the paper of thinking skills in this may/june09...and i wanna tell you that its not that easy as it seems from the name....it requires alot of analytical ability, critical thinking and ability, analysing some extreme situations and evaluating the problems, their solutions and many more. Basically the purpose of the subject 'THINKING SKILLS' is to apply our critical thinking and resoning to more complex situations of our life..
the paper tests two main things i.e. mathematics and critical reasoning...the main aim of the paper is to test the candidates ability to come up with their answer in shortest period of time using shortest approach as time management is the main problem which candidates face in the paper.....
i hope that this general knowledge about the subject is enough..if you want any more details just post out your questions...

omega007:
Is it easier than science subjects like Biology, Physics etc.??? And do you need good English skills for it??? Where can I get books for it???

Please tell me google, I'm really interested in this subject.  :)  :)  :)

google:
Basically we cant make a straight forward comparison between thinking skills and science subjects. In science subjects we need to study alot of stuff where as thinking skills is about something else...its about ones intellectual capacity!!!
the subject is very interesting and believe me it helps you to see things wid reasonong at the bak of ur mind...critical evaluations.....
so i recommend you to opt it...and yeah you need very good eglish skills for this as otherwise studying it is immpossible...you should also need to be good in mathematics as mathematics of thinking skills is quite very difficult...
it has only one book endorsed by cambridge....named as 'THINKING SKILLS' by John Butterworth......
