I didn't find it that hard. You just have to think carefully and answer only from the text you are given. And then check again and make sure that your answer follows. I expect I will have changed my mind by tomorrow - I have to do verbal reasoning for another bank!

ur not alone i failed it too. but im using my other email to re-apply. a friend told me that no human will check your application unless you pass both tests.

i also know that this system works as another friend applied to meryll lynch 3 times before getting an interview.

Couldn't you become unstuck if you actually get the internship or whatever though - they might check then and it wouldn't be hard to see that you had done this.

verbal reasoning is not a lottery. If you can't speak english, how the **** am I going to put you in front of a client?

Try expressing yourself without the need for profanity. :wink:

1. You would hate the trading desk.

2. How do you know I didn't star out the words myself?

You don't have to tell me what I'd love or hate. I can decide that for myself. I personally have no problem with people swearing just to let off a bit of steam, but in this context, it's funny how you resort to swearing when we're talking about a verbal reasoning test. Even if you starred out the words, what does that imply? That you can't express yourself better?

Dude, is this a poetry class or a student forum? Even Salinger swore. It's not like he couldn't write.

Well, then you have very little excuse for failing. It's not ****ing rocket science.
