Verbal Tests – Why it matters

Verbal Comprehension and Why It Matters

Verbal comprehension tasks measure a portion of your cognitive ability. In addition to numerical comprehension and logical/inductive reasoning, verbal comprehension and understanding complex text are an important part of being a successful candidate in the application process. At Test The Talent, you can prepare extensively for your employment test. If you are taking a verbal test, whether as a single test or a combination of numerical and logical/inductive tasks, intensive preparation will make the actual test easier.

 

Ability tests with verbal test part

At Test The Talent you can take practice tests to prepare for a wide variety of tests, some of which include a verbal section. The PICA and Saville tests are only available in a combined version. You can try out a PICA test for free at Test The Talent. The SHL or Cubiks tests are available both as a combined test and as individual tests for all three test areas. You can try a verbal SHL test for free. In addition, Test The Talent offers a general practice test that you can use to prepare for all common employment tests.

 

Structure of verbal tests

The test of SHL, in addition to the combined test, also has its own verbal test, which consists of text comprehension questions in multiple choice format. The same structure and type of verbal questions are also offered by Cubiks. Saville offers only combined tests. The verbal part of the combined test also includes questions about text comprehension. The verbal part of the combined test of PICA, is structured differently and includes three different verbal sub-tasks. There are analogies, logical reasoning tasks, and antonyms (explained in more detail below). The general practice tests of Test The Talent are similar, but this one also includes tasks where you have to identify which word does not match.
