Scoring Criteria

• Knowledge Accuracy & Logical Rigor: Adhere to Oxford’s top academic standards to assess three core skills: critical thinking, problem-solving, and numerical logical reasoning—aligned with the University of Oxford TSA’s three modules (Argument Analysis, Numerical & Logical Reasoning, Information Processing Ability). Maintain rigorous logic in all links, ensuring no fallacies or loopholes, and master core thinking frameworks consistent with elite university assessments.

​​​

• Method Application & Skill Demonstration: Apply targeted strategies (argument decomposition, fallacy identification, pattern induction) for online contests. Analyze problems via standardized critical thinking, integrate interdisciplinary logic, and accurately apply rules to solve tasks efficiently, with difficulty matching competition rounds.

​​

• Follow the 2026 competition’s official submission specs, using precise logical symbols and professional terms. For objective questions, submit direct answers; for subjective tasks, structure responses as evidence → reasoning → conclusion, marking logical foundations for grading.

​​

• In-depth Understanding & Competitive Enhancement: Go beyond basic problem-solving to internalize key thinking skills, boost core competitiveness, and accumulate international academic experience. Connect reasoning skills to real-world scenarios, highlighting flexible application and elite-level thinking potential.
