What you'll actually see

The test uses one question format. Here's how it works, what it really measures and where candidates lose points. Every demo is a working question from our practice set — try it.

01

Short texts

Read the text and choose the one statement out of four that the text supports.

What it tests

Finding the relevant information in everyday texts and judging exactly what it does and doesn't say.

Common pitfalls

  • Choosing an option that sounds plausible but isn't stated
  • Missing a condition, exception or date elsewhere in the text
  • Overlooking small words such as only, all or not yet

Tip: The question doesn't say where to look. Scan the whole text for the detail that confirms or rules out each option.

Know what is being assessed

Evidence, not assumptions

Aspects Verbal Reasoning measures how accurately you can find and interpret information in everyday written texts, without adding assumptions of your own.

Our 40 texts range from emails and notices to reports, articles and conversations. Each has three questions with four options, and the question doesn't tell you where to look: finding the relevant sentence is part of the challenge. Your selected answer remains saved when the 60-second timer runs out.

A smarter preparation routine

  1. 01

    Check your invitation

    Confirm the exact test name, deadline, calculator rules and any adjustments agreed with the employer.

  2. 02

    Get the method right first

    Separate stated facts from inferences. Check qualifiers and use only the passage; review why each correct option follows from the text.

  3. 03

    Add time pressure

    Once the format feels familiar, rehearse under the conditions given in your invitation and look for where you lose time.

  4. 04

    Prepare your test-day setup

    Use a stable connection and a quiet space. Read the official instructions and complete any introductory examples carefully.

Your assessment questions, answered

How many answers should I select?

Always one. Each question has four options and exactly one is supported by the text. Use only what the text says, without adding assumptions.

Will these be my actual assessment questions?

We cannot know your employer's question set. The goal is to prepare for the skills and interaction types, not to provide confidential assessment questions.

How long is the assessment?

The overview above is provisional and may differ from your assessment. Your employer's invitation and the official test instructions are the source of truth for the question count and time limit.
