i will be needing to take a test in a university for an admission which will involve a lot of analytic questions can anyone tell me how can i train my brain for something like this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Doesn't happen overnight It will probably take months and years to improve your analytical skills. The quickest way I can think of is solving lots of math or physics problems everyday.

In my opinion, the best way to train your analytical ability is studying mathematics!
 
Define "analytic", either you should study philosophy or maths depending on what it means.

analytic questions are those in which you need to analyze the given data (which is most likely not in numbers) to give the answers unlike math problems you can not just use numbers and formulas to obtain the answers because there are none which makes me doubtful that doing maths will help here is a sample question.



Some would have you believe that the economic problems of Western Europe in the 1980s were caused by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) oil cartel. This is nonsense. After all, Great Britain was not dependent on OPEC oil and yet Great Britain suffered from the same economic problems that affected France and West Germany.

The author's point is made primarily by

A. Offering Great Britain as a counter example
B. Analysing the economic difficulties of France and West Germany
C. Pointing put a misconception of reasoning
D. Proposing an alternative explanation
E. Drawing an analogy between France and West Germany

please let me know how i can train for such questions.
