preface

“Conquer the final hurdle of civil service Korean language, logical reasoning, with this one book.”

The area that has shown the greatest change in recent Korean language tests is logical reasoning.
Many test takers find this section the most difficult and unsettling because of the unfamiliar types and unfamiliar thought processes.
However, logical reasoning is an area that can never be avoided, and can be sufficiently overcome through systematic training.

This book, "The Wisdom of Reasoning," was designed to alleviate the worries of such test takers.
First, we've laid out basic problems that will help you confirm basic concepts, laying a solid foundation. Next, we've included various types of questions and new, difficult problems that will be required in the actual exam, allowing you to gradually improve your skills.
A total of 225 questions have been carefully selected and included, and the plan is to complete the book by solving 15 questions per day for 15 days.
By enabling compressed training in a short period of time, you can simultaneously secure efficient learning and practical experience.

I hope that through this book, test takers will be able to transform their fear of the logical reasoning section into confidence.
I sincerely hope that you will train consistently and confidently demonstrate your skills in the exam room.
