Description:
The test consists of three sections. The one analysed in this case is the first one:

Verbal reasoning (10 questions)

This test consists of passages of text, after which there are 4 statements. The task is to evaluate which of them is most true in terms of the passage itself. There is only one correct answer to each question (even though most of the statements may be somewhat true), and it is the statement which is most true in terms of the information given in the passage, and not of any prior knowledge that the person completing the test may have.
The passing score for this section is 50% and the results appear at the conclusion of the test.

It is timed with 19 minutes.

As it is available in all 24 EU oficial languages (except Croatian for some questions), it could be used as a test of verbal competences in the mother tongue or in a foreign language.
