How do I interpret Verbal Reasoning results?

Our Verbal Reasoning test assesses a candidate's comprehension skills through the presentation of a short passage of text. Candidates are required to use only the information presented in the passage to answer the questions. Developed by chartered occupational psychologists, our verbal reasoning test assesses key comprehension skills which are essential to the everyday working environment.

Employers use verbal reasoning tests as they reveal a candidate's language proficiency and grammatical skills. Since the ability to communicate effectively is a universal skill, it's no surprise these are used by employers hiring for a wide range of roles.

The verbal reasoning test includes a passage of text and a series of multiple-choice questions that the candidates need to answer within 10 minutes. The test is timed to ensure candidates are judged both for quality and speed. Typically, candidates will be given about one minute per question.

Candidates will be scored out of 100% and you can easily compare the test scores across candidates in order to ensure you only move further with the top applicants.
