About this test
This free verbal reasoning test measures how precisely you understand and reason with language. Ten questions cover three areas: analogies (spotting the relationship between words), vocabulary (shades of meaning and opposites), and verbal logic (drawing valid conclusions from statements). It takes about four minutes and needs no registration.
When you finish, we score your answers and email a category-by-category breakdown, so you can see whether your edge is in word relationships, vocabulary, or logical deduction. It's a quick, reliable estimate of the verbal aptitude tested in school exams and graduate job assessments.
Verbal reasoning rewards wide reading and attention to exact meaning. If your weakest area is verbal logic, slowing down to test each conclusion against the statements — rather than trusting your first impression — is the fastest way to improve.
