What Verbal Reasoning looks like
Verbal reasoning is one of the six tests in the Defence Aptitude Assessment (RAF). In our practice you read short passages or a few statements and answer what must be true – who does which task, which drill ends when, what the text actually says rather than what sounds likely.
Read the question before the passage, then look only for the facts it needs. Answer from the text, not from what you already know.
How this free test is set up
