Herbert Smith Verbal Reasoning Tests

In Herbert Smith’s verbal reasoning test you will be presented with a series of paragraphs which you will be required to read and then answer questions. Your options will be True, False or Cannot Tell. This test will be assessing your comprehension skills. As with the numerical tests, you will be timed and so ensuring that you balance your time between reading the passages and answering the questions is important. The best way to do this is to practice this type of test before you take the real one for the employer!

Herbert Smith Group Exercise

This type of group exercise is designed to test your people skills and how you work within a group. You will be required to work within a group to solve a problem or answer a question that is provided by the assessors. You’ll be placed in groups and will be assessed on how you interact.
