Verbal Reasoning

What this test is

Practice in the style of the online verbal reasoning tests that many fire and rescue services in England and Wales now use, often from Test Partnership. Services' own guidance describes a test of about 15 minutes in which you read short passages and decide whether statements are true, false or not possible to say.

Test Partnership's briefing guide describes five pages, each with a passage and four statements, and a three-minute limit on every page. When the time runs out the test moves on by itself, and unanswered statements count as incorrect. This practice uses that layout. The passages are our own and set in a fictional service, so the details are not real policy.

How to answer

True

The statement definitely follows from the passage.

False

The passage definitely contradicts the statement.

Cannot Say

The passage doesn't give enough information to decide either way.

Use only what the passage says, not what you know or assume about fire services. Tap an answer for each statement, then press Next page. You can change answers until the page moves on, but you can't go back to an earlier page. The timer resets on every page.
