Verbal Reasoning Practice Tests For Airline Pilots

A verbal reasoning test is designed to test your understanding and verbal comprehension skills. It is also, indirectly, a test of your English language skills as they can contain obscure words that many people whose first language is not English, would not be familiar with. Airlines frequently use verbal reasoning tests as part of their initial selection process. It is something you can practice in order to improve your performance.

A verbal reasoning test consists of a paragraph of text. You will be instructed to read the text followed by studying a series of statements. You must determine whether the statements are either true, false or you are unable to determine based on the information contained in the paragraph of text. The tests are typically completed under pressurised time constraints. It is common that you will not be able to answer the questions in the allotted time. Whilst the rules can vary from test to test, this test awards one point for each correct answer and zero points for incorrect answers. You are probably better to work quickly but accurately, rather than too fast and making mistakes, even if this means you will not be able to answer all the questions.

You should not use any previous knowledge you have on any subject to answer the questions, you must only use the information contained in the text. For example, if in the paragraph of text is saying that “the sky is green”, and the preceding statement says “the sky is blue”, you should confirm that the “the sky is blue” statement is false as it disagrees with what is stated in the text.

We would suggest you tackle the examination by reading the statement before you read the text. This will allow you to understand what information you are looking for, and you can answer the question when you have ascertained the information. If you read the entire paragraph, you might spend unnecessary time reading all of the text, when you could have stopped after the first few sentences.

How This Practice Test Is Marked

This practice test uses negative marking to simulate the scoring approach used in some airline pilot aptitude assessments.

You will receive 1 point for each correct answer, lose 0.5 points for each incorrect answer, and receive 0 points for any question left unanswered.

There are seven questions, giving a maximum possible score of 7 points. Your final score may be negative. You should answer each question using only the information provided in the Globe Airways passage. Do not use outside knowledge or make assumptions.

Select Definitely True, Definitely Untrue or Can’t Tell for each statement.
