The following aptitude tests
are very similar to the verbal reasoning tests used by graduate employers,
often at assessment days or online. The first
test has no time limit and is there so that you can familiarise yourself with the style of the
tests. The second has a time limit, just like the real thing will have. Try to work both quickly and accurately.
Although this particular style of verbal reasoning test is not used be all
employers,
the practice will certainly be useful for all the aptitude
tests 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
verbal reasoning.
We have
reviewed many Verbal Reasoning books available to buy, and one of the
best out there is How 2 Pass Verbal Reasoning Tests. It is a new
publication that contains a huge amount of verbal reasoning questions
for you to practice, with detailed guidance and methods for
improvement. We particularly like the fact that it contains a section
of original questions written by SHL.
This workbook should help anyone prepare for a whole range of verbal
reasoning tests, and give them the confidence when it comes to the
real thing. Confidence in the test will generally allow you to think
more clearly and perform at your best, without the panic some
candidates experience. |
