Oh right. So it's like true.false/cannot say about 3 statements on the same info then. Interesting. At least you don't have to read 40 paras of text for each question. And thank you :smile:

I hope you do well!

Thank you, good luck with the rest of your application!

Also for the numerical test do you need a calculator & paper to work on? Or is it all easy mental arithmetic?

u defo need a calculator and a pen😄 this one does need some revision. Especially percentage increases/decreases, ratios, tables and graphs. All the Qs I can remember were very complicated with many steps😢

It was 24 Qs I only was able to answer a few with certainty I think the pass threshold is quite low😄

Just done the verbal reasoning, I think it went alright but 20 mins for 40 questions was brutal. Only had a minute to spare to check answers. Also realised that I answered "Can't tell" for a fair few questions haha.

Has anyone got past the verbal reasoning stage? On my account it says verbal test and the status just says complete.

@dom117117 I've completed it but the test still just says complete on the verbal one, might have to email them asking them to check it
