Taking a verbal reasoning test

Why do employers use verbal reasoning tests? Because they are better at predicting candidates' job performance than interviews, CVs and other traditional methods of selection. To quickly get a feel of what a real verbal reasoning test looks like, take one of our free practice tests below.

Employers use your verbal reasoning score, together with other selection factors such as interview performance, to help them decide which candidate is most suitable for the role. Verbal reasoning tests used in selection usually take the form of a written passage followed by a series of questions with possible True, False or Cannot Say responses. It is important you know and appreciate the meaning of each response if you are to score highly.

True - The statement follows logically given the information contained within the passage.

False - The statement cannot logically follow given the information contained within the passage.

Cannot Say - It is not possible to determine given the information contained within the passage alone; i.e. more information would be required to say for certain.
