For the first time in Ukraine, in accordance with the requirements of modern society, on the basis of the MOODLE platform, an electronic course «Practical Logic: Training of Intellectual Abilities» was created and implemented for preparation for entrance tests for master's programs in specialty 081 «Law», which offers generalizations of the methodology and logic solution of test problems according to their typologization, rethinking the practical meaning of logic for successful passing of testing by levels of formation in participants of general training legal competence. The results of the scientific and practical researches contained in the author's manual «Preparation for the assembly of GELCT in tasks and decisions: a logical approach» are presented. Based on the principle of reasonableness of law, the specifics of the use of logical forms and methods implemented in the legal methodology, their necessity as tools in legal analytics and legal practice are defined. Conclusions have been made regarding the importance of logical culture for the successful passage of the GELCT, the need for reassessment of programs of logical education in higher education, and the further development of logical knowledge in relation to certain general intellectual competencies of the lawyer.
