If you have been invited to sit a verbal reasoning test, either online or at an assessment centre, try to find out as much about the test as you can. Most verbal reasoning tests consist entirely of reading comprehension and reasoning and follow the common format of the verbal reasoning tests hosted on this website. However occasionally, when employers refer to a verbal reasoning test what they mean spelling, grammar and word meaning questions. Very occasionally they even conduct both types of verbal reasoning test!

With verbal reasoning tests is it important to bear in mind the precise meaning of the possible answers: 

    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 decide.

Verbal reasoning tests aim to assess the candidate's aptitude for verbal comprehension and understanding of written English. Practice makes perfect with verbal reasoning tests, so give these a try before your assessment center or online test.

Although this particular style of verbal reasoning test is the most common, it always helps to contact the human resources department of the employer and try to obtain any information you can about the actual tests you will be taking. Regardless of the format and style, these practice tests will certainly be useful for all the range of verbal assessments employers use. The best way to practise for verbal reasoning tests is to read non-fiction articles, particularly those containing numbers. The Economist is very good, newspapers are also useful for getting to grips with understanding statements and verbal reasoning questions.

The key with verbal reasoning tests is staying focused and concentrating on the precise wording of the questions and passage. You have to quickly absorb the contents of the passage and then carefully read the question, then re-read the relevant section of the passage. Verbal reasoning tests can be difficult for candidates whose first language is not English as speed and accuracy are both important, however employers are rightly interested in the candidate's verbal reasoning ability as verbal comprehensions and skilled command of the English language are valuable skills in the workplace.

Although you will already have a level of reading comprehension, it is possible to improve your verbal reasoning score through practice. Don't just turn up on the day thinking that you are good with verbal comprehension and that's enough. A significant factor in your verbal reasoning score is familiarity with the format of questions and the mindset that you must consider the information in the passage only and nothing else.
