Temaquiz 1: How verbal reasoning tests work

  1. Fråga 1 av 15

    What does a verbal reasoning test mainly check?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. How well you understand and reason about written information

    Verbal reasoning tests check careful reading: understanding what a text says and what follows from it. Special knowledge is not needed.

  2. Fråga 2 av 15

    When you answer questions about a passage, which information should you use?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. Only the information in the passage

    Answer from the passage alone. Outside knowledge can lead you to a different answer from the one the passage supports.

  3. Fråga 3 av 15

    The Government of Canada's Skills for Success model describes reading as your ability to do what?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. Find, understand and use information presented through words, symbols and images

    Skills for Success defines reading as finding, understanding and using information. Sharing information in writing is the separate skill of writing.

  4. Fråga 4 av 15

    You need to find the date of a meeting in a long memo. Which reading method is quickest?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. Scanning for the date

    Scanning means looking for one specific detail, such as a date or name, without reading every word. Skimming is for the general idea.

  5. Fråga 5 av 15

    What does it mean to skim a passage?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. Read it quickly to get the general idea

    Skimming is fast reading for the main idea, for example the title and the first sentence of each paragraph.

  6. Fråga 6 av 15

    Why is it often helpful to read the question before you read the passage closely?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. You know what to look for

    Reading the question first tells you which key words and details to look for in the passage.

  7. Fråga 7 av 15

    A test has 30 questions and a 24-minute time limit. About how much time do you have for each question?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. 48 seconds

    24 minutes is 24 × 60 = 1,440 seconds, and 1,440 ÷ 30 = 48 seconds. 24 ÷ 30 = 0.8 minutes, which is 48 seconds, not 80.

  8. Fråga 8 av 15

    You are stuck on a hard question in a timed test. What is usually the best thing to do?
    Visa svar

    Svar: D. Pick your best answer, mark it if you can, and move on

    Managing your time matters. Give your best answer, mark the question for review if the test allows it, and come back if time is left.

  9. Fråga 9 av 15

    In the online tests described by the Public Service Commission of Canada, what effect does marking a question for review have on your score?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. It has no effect on your score

    The Public Service Commission says marking questions for review does not influence your score. It is only a reminder to come back.

  10. Fråga 10 av 15

    In the Public Service Commission of Canada's online tests, what happens when the time is up?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. The test closes

    The Public Service Commission says a timer shows the time left, and the computer closes the test after the allotted time.

  11. Fråga 11 av 15

    You think you need an accommodation, such as reader services or an alternative format, for a test. What does the Public Service Commission of Canada advise?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. Tell the person who invited you as soon as possible

    Tell the person who invited you to the test as soon as possible. Accommodation measures are tailored to your situation and the information is kept confidential.

  12. Fråga 12 av 15

    You are sure that two of four options are wrong. What should you do next?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. Compare the two that are left with the passage

    Elimination narrows your choice. Then check the two remaining options against the exact words of the passage.

  13. Fråga 13 av 15

    A passage says: "Most staff work in the office on Mondays." A statement says: "All staff work in the office on Mondays." Which word makes the statement go further than the passage?
    Visa svar

    Svar: D. All

    "All" is a stronger claim than "most". Watch for strong words such as all, always, never and only.

  14. Fråga 14 av 15

    A passage says: "Applications will not be accepted after Friday." Which statement means the same thing?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. Friday is the last day to apply

    This is a paraphrase: if nothing is accepted after Friday, then Friday is the last day you can apply.

  15. Fråga 15 av 15

    A passage says: "The new system may reduce wait times." Does this prove that the new system will reduce wait times?
    Visa svar

    Svar: B. No, because "may" shows only a possibility

    "May" and "might" show something is possible, not certain. A passage that says something may happen does not prove it will.

Vanliga frågor

What is the Certificate of Completion, and what is it not?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on the final assessment. It is not an accredited qualification, an employer's test result or a score from any test publisher.

Are these questions from real employer tests?

No. Every passage and question was written for this course to practise the same kinds of skills. Real tests differ between employers, so read your invitation and instructions carefully.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 30 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 30-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives a new mix of questions.

Do I need to know about the topic of a passage?

No. Answer using only what the passage says. If you add your own knowledge, you may choose a different answer from the one the passage supports.

Is this an English language test for immigration or citizenship?

No. This course practises the reading and reasoning skills used in some hiring tests. It does not give a language level or score that any government or school accepts.

How should I practise?

Read one lesson, take its untimed topic quiz and read the explanations for anything you got wrong. When you score well on all six topics, try the timed final assessment.

Är intyget ackrediterat eller officiellt erkänt?

Nej. Det är ett privat kursintyg, bara för dina kunskaper. Det är inte erkänt, ackrediterat eller godkänt av någon myndighet, tillståndsmyndighet, tillsynsmyndighet eller utbildningsinstitution, och det ersätter inte någon licens, certifiering eller utbildning som krävs enligt lag.
