01
Separate a supported conclusion from a guess
A statement can sound reasonable without being established by the text. Practise identifying an explicit fact, applying a condition and recognising when information is missing.
Fewer assumptions
Distinguish missing information from evidence that a claim is false.
Workplace reading practice
Apply the same checks to procedures, summaries and everyday arrangements.
02
Three workplace reading contexts
There are four tasks in each context. Any statement may be true, false or impossible to determine from the passage; the context is not an answer category.
Rules and procedures
Apply the rules stated in a procedure, including requirements, exceptions and combined conditions.
Reports and evidence
Distinguish reported evidence from assumptions about other teams, preferences or decisions.
Plans and arrangements
Read attendance conditions, schedules and completion requirements without adding unstated arrangements.
How the result is calculated
One correct answer earns one point: up to 12 overall and four per context. There is no timer or deduction for an incorrect choice. The percentage is the share correct in this set.
- 1Read the passage and judge its statement using only the information given.
- 2Choose True when supported, False when contradicted, or Cannot determine when the passage is insufficient.
- 3Review your total and three context scores, then open the original passages and explanations.
Use only the passage
- Do not add facts from your own workplace or general knowledge.
- A statement not supported by the passage is not automatically false.
- Watch for words such as all, only, must and optional; check the complete condition.
FAQ
Questions about verbal reasoning
Verbal reasoning is about what a text supports, not what sounds plausible from experience. These original BrainApps tasks use procedures, short reports and work arrangements. Read the passage and judge one statement using only the information provided. Your result counts correct answers in this set and separates three contexts so you can choose what to review. Every answer includes the original passage and an explanation of the decisive evidence.
What is a verbal reasoning test?+
It checks whether you can evaluate statements using written information. You need to distinguish supported conclusions, contradictions and claims for which the text gives too little information.
What does Cannot determine mean?+
The passage does not establish whether the statement is true or false. This is different from False, where the text gives information contradicting the statement.
Do I need specialist knowledge?+
No. All necessary facts are in the passage. Do not use outside knowledge or assume that the fictional workplace follows your employer's rules.
How does this help with assessment preparation?+
It provides practice in reading carefully and checking conclusions against evidence. The passages are original BrainApps exercises, not an official question bank from another assessment provider.
Is there a time limit?+
No, this version is untimed. Take the time you need to locate the relevant wording. The result counts accurate answers, not reading speed.
Can I review or change my answers?+
You can revisit any question before submitting. After submission, the saved review contains your choices, the original passages and the explanation for every answer.
