It may not help you with admission, but if you take it as a 5th AS and get an A it couldn't hurt.

I took Thinking Skills this year, never went to class, and never looked at a past paper. I just went to the exam and got an A, so it's a pretty easy subject and I'd recommend taking it just for the hell of it. It doesn't exactly require much/any work.

Its a hard subject where you need good vocabulary to get your points across when writing structured awnsers,otherwise you will just give vague awnsers and mcq is just retardedly impossible in some areas... However, the gt is low enough to get a respectable grade if you have enough logic/vocab etc. Did it for AS with minimal teacher assistance and got a 78. Do pyps if you feel hardworking and ull be fine.

I disagree with "Mattman". I literally did no work in class (skipped most of them) and didn't even know what the exam looked like until I sat it, and got an A.

All the subject requires is a basic grasp of the english vocabulary, a basic grasp of maths, and the gift of common sense. There's a reason most Universities don't recognise it.

From what I've researched is that it won't give you advance credit but it is still valued by universities + it seems so easy that why not take it ?
