The GMAT book has got loads of similar questions in it. Don't underestimate the difficulty of the critical reasoning test. When I went for BA it was the one I failed on as I had devoted all my time to the Maths and presumed I would be OK with it. Good luck.

It is worth searching under BA aptitude tests, and you will be surprised all the info there.
However if it helps, the GMAT book is very useful. You will have to answer about 40 questions in 25/30 mins, all answers either true, false or can't say. If you learn the principles from GMAT book, you shouldn't have a problem.
It is also worth reading, not flicking through, a good newspaper. Try and get into the author's mind and see exactly what they are saying.
Hope the above helps in some way.

GMAT = Graduate Management Admissions Test.
To get onto an MBA course you have to pass the forementioned test. There are books from a few different publishers that cover all the material in the test, namely:
Problem Solving
Data Sufficiency
Reading Comprehension
Critical Reasoning
Sentence Correction
Analytical Writing Assessment
The Problem Solving is useful as it gets your brain upto speed for the Maths tests.
The Critical Reasoning, although different to the tests airlines use helps to get you in the right frame of mind for answering the questions.
All the books have 'GMAT' in the title. Available from all good bookshops (and probably some crap ones too)
Remember the 6Ps

GMAT isn't one particular book - GMAT are a set of exams used for medical schools, business schools etc.. used to screen applicants. It stands for Graduate Management Admission Tests, and BA use them (Or something similar) to select CEP's (and DEP's I believe !?!) They specialise in verbal/critical reasoning, mathematical reasoning and the like. You can get loads of books on GMAT - try www.Amazon.co.uk

Oops.... beat me to it !!! I'm still having loads of trouble finding examples of the "Inference" section though (True, False, Can't Tell stuff... which I absolutely detest), and I've bought about 3 books from Amazon. So might want to check the books out in the shops first.

I have to agree with Bowser on this one. Reading a good newspaper is probably the best way of honing your comprehension skills. Try to get a decent paper, and read articles that you're not necessarily interested in. Try and pick up every single point that is being made.

Superpilot,
Well.... I'm currently waiting for another 2 sodding GMAT/Verbal Reasoning books to come through my post box. Another £30 down the drain no doubt !! Someone must publish a book with these examples in !! Rest assured, if I find one I'll post the details on here.
Cheers,
