In the Verbal Reasoning (also called deductive reasoning) section of your ability test, it is tested how proficient you are in reading, analyzing and interpreting text. The question always consists of a text fragment and one (or more) statement(s). You must judge the statements on the basis of the text, not on the basis of general knowledge or an interpretation of the text. You have three possible answers for each question:
In general terms, almost every question focuses on one of the capacities below. Via the links you can read how to best solve these types of questions, study three detailed example questions and complete three practice problems.
We recommend doing at least 3 exercise sets with time pressure. At the end of each exercise set, we indicate how your score relates to the norm group and whether you need to work faster or more accurately to get the highest possible score on your assessment. This way you know exactly when you are optimally prepared.
Review the results of the assessments you have completed to determine whether you are optimally prepared for the grade series component. By clicking on an assessment, you will see more detailed results with personalized advice based on your results compared to the reference group.
There are different types of patterns that are often used for numerical reasoning. By studying the explanations and example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognise the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.

Evaluate your results to see if you are optimally prepared for your assessment. By clicking the individual results, you will get a more detailed report of your results with personal advice.
There are different types of patterns that are often used for inductive reasoning. By studying the explanations and example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognize the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.
We recommend doing at least 3 exercise sets with time constraints. At the end of each exercise set, we tell you how your score relates to the norm group and whether you need to work faster or more accurately to get the highest possible score on your assessment. This way you know exactly when you are optimally prepared.
Eveluate your results to see if you are optimally prepared for your assessment. By clicking the individual results, you will get a more detailed report of your results with personal advice.
There are different types of patterns that are often used for abstract matrices. By studying the explanations with example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognise the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.
