Verbal tests
Test 1, âWord skillsâ, is a test of how well you understand words. Language tests are often the most complex, because a word may be used in many different ways. Words are slippery, with alternative, deeper or hidden meanings.
In Test 2, âVerbal conceptsâ, vocabulary is still important, but less so than perceiving what idea or association connects some words and not others. Rather than recognize the individual meanings of words, you are expected to work out those that form a âsetâ or group. This test requires both a level of learning and experience and quickness in thinking.
In Test 3, âCritical applicationâ, vocabulary is far less important than the ability to reason. While you will find that in Tests 1 and 2 you will, more or less, either know the answer or not, with Test 3 you may need to take your time until you arrive at the answer. Possible ways of doing this are explained later on.

| Adjective | makes exact the meaning of a noun (eg blue, short, happy) |
| Noun | name of a person, place or th... |
