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:

1. True: You can determine with certainty that the statement must be true based on the text.
2. False: On the basis of the text you can determine with certainty that the statement cannot be true.
3. Cannot say: Based on the text it is possible that the statement is true, but it is also possible that the statement is not true.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are different types of patterns that are often used for basic arithmetic. By studying the explanations and example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognise the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.

There are different types of patterns that are often used for word problems. By studying the explanations and example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognise the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.

There are different types of patterns that are often used for word analogies. By studying the explanations and example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognise the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.

There are different types of patterns that are often used for syllogisms. By studying the explanations and example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognise the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.

A Situational Judgment Test evaluates how you will respond to situations that you may encounter in a professional environment. A question will always have the format of a situation sketch and a number of possible responses. The situations can vary from an angry customer to an impolite colleague during a presentation.

You are expected to indicate the most effective response in the given situation. This generally involves 4 types of assignments:

• Most and least effective response - you must indicate what you see as the best and / or worst response in the given situation.
• Response ranking - you must rank the possible responses from best to worst response
• Assessing responses - you must indicate with a number from 1 to 5 how effective you think the responses are (this is very similar to ranking the responses)
• "How would you react?" - This form is very similar to the first variant, with the subtle difference that more is directed towards how you personally would respond than is directed towards an objectively best response.

The situations may differ per employer, but the form will almost always be the same. It is helpful to make a number of practice sets so that you know what to expect. However, it is not a subject where it pays to practice for hours.
