Verbal Reasoning Tests
Verbal reasoning tests assess your understanding and comprehension skills. You will be presented with a short passage of text which you’ll be required to interpret before answering questions on. These are typically in the ‘True, False, Cannot Say’ multiple choice format, although there are a range of alternatives too.

Introducing verbal reasoning tests
Verbal reasoning is the ability to reason using concepts wrapped in words. It verifies your level of understanding and comprehension, as well as your dexterity when it comes to filtering out key information from a bulk of text. In the times of the information overload – a good level of literacy and verbal logic are among the most desired employability skills.
There are a range of formats employed in verbal reasoning tests. The most common of these is the ‘true, false and cannot say’ format which requires you to decide which is the most applicable based on a small passage of text.
Regardless, of the format, the same principles hold true. You will need to read text, interpret information and decide on the most logical conclusion. It’s important to remember that no previous knowledge of the passage topic is required so just make your decisions based on the information you’re given.
Although, you might feel confident in your verbal powers, exposing yourself with these tests prior to the day will help. Practicing won’t hurt but a lack of familiarity definitely might.
Verbal reasoning tests check if you can recognize the difference between facts and inferences, and above all assess your comprehension and logic skills.
The ability to extract a correct meaning from complex information is one of the key requirements to perform well in your job. To do it quickly is another. Thus, the growing number of employers are using verbal reasoning tests to ensure the right candidates have strong reasoning skills in place before they plunge into a new job.
You should make decisions based on the information provided, not your inner expert. The objective of verbal reasoning tests is to reveal your skills, not check your knowledge!
If it’s neither true or false, it can be “ hard to say” – in everyday life, we all strive to find black and white answers to most troubling questions, but that might not be the right approach. By doing these tests, we hope you will get rid of this habit, and learn how to answer correctly to the false and cannot say answers which many find the most problematic.

Our testing platform
Our platform is the perfect environment to improve your score. Try the example below.
Located in the western Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench is the deepest part of Earth's oceans. Although just under 70 km wide, this narrow trench extends over 2,500 km. Its deepest point is a valley called Challenger Deep, measuring 10.91 km under sea level. Challenger Deep is not, however, the section of seafloor closest to the Earth's centre. Because Earth's radius is less at its poles than at the equator, parts of the Arctic Ocean's seafloor are closer to its centre.
The bottom of Mariana Trench has been reached by four different expeditions, the first in 1960. These expeditions discovered fish and other oceanic life, a surprise given that water pressure at the trench's bottom is more than one thousand times atmospheric pressure at sea level. Samples collected from the Mariana Trench revealed a variety of tiny organisms, and giant amoebas called xenophyophores.
The Mariana Trench, which is in a subduction zone, has been mooted as a possible site for dumping nuclear waste. Proponents believe subduction, whereby one tectonic plate moves under another; would push radioactive waste down towards the Earth's core. Subduction zones, however, are prone to earthquakes, which raises safety concerns. In any case, international law bans disposing of nuclear waste in the ocean.
Practice Question
If dumped in the Mariana Trench, nuclear waste would be pushed under shifting tectonic plates.

The tests were really well suited to the job that I've applied for. Easy to do and loads of them.
Although I am not getting very high marks yet, I am getting there. The tests are quite challenging which is really good.
I gave you 5 starts because I study on your website everyday. It's very useful to learn new things each day and all I have to say is thanks for everything.
The option of practice and timed tests, along with explanations of the answers is better than the other services that I looked at.
The dashboard is great. So many other sites just give you a score, but your dashboard shows me how I compare with others which lets me focus on my weakest areas.
