Thank you both for your responses. That Critical Reasoning Bible seems like another good resource. The Aristotle book said right at the beginning that everything is subjective but most people tend to think critical reasoning is the easiest of the 3 (not word for word but along those lines)

International graduate job prospects in US post graduation
