You’ve finished the course now. But before you go let’s do revision and a final exam!

Revision Points

To do well in your verbal reasoning exam, remember: identify type, if can complete quickly, then solve, if not, move on and return with the last resort being, guess.

This will help you move through quickly but also help with getting a higher quantity of questions correct.

Overarching points to remember for each of the checkpoints are:

• Letter Patterns – look at individual characters, not whole words.
• Word rearrangement – find the meaning first and for sentences, group critical words together.
• Similar/dissimilar meanings – consider meaning, purpose and parts of speech.
• Odd one out – use options to you advance and group the first two together to isolate the answer.
• Analogies – draw out a relationship.
• Basic logic – know the key words.
• Classification of attributes – organise in a table while doing active reading to save time.
• True/false statements – consider what’s ‘crucial’ to the statement.
• Probability statements – know the different degrees that words imply.
• Maximum and minimum – add more attributes or fewer.
• Translating language – looks at parts of speech and what’s common and what’s not.
• Decoding – an overview – set up your codes visually and analyse.
• Decoding – pattern types – look for trickier patterns like reverse order, rotations and rearrangements by considering the composition of characters.
• Decoding codes using numbers – consider 1-1, number placement and representation.
• Ordering information – determine polar ends and use a line to plot out details.
