150 Warm-Up Questions

This chapter contains 150 warm-up questions across 5 practice types to test vocabulary, comprehension, and English usage. While less common than in the past, verbal reasoning tests are still used for graduate and management roles. Practicing these questions will significantly improve performance, as some candidates only need a review while others require dedicating more time. These introductory questions are not at an advanced level intentionally to benefit most readers, and test-takers should aim to get most correct. Those struggling should undertake further practice to meet standards of advanced tests. Even without taking a test, this material can develop strong exam skills when used under time limits.

150 Warm-up questions

This chapter contains 150 warm-up questions. They are organ-


ized as five practice types that investigate your vocabulary,
comprehension or knowledge of English usage.
This style of question is less common than it used to be, but still
prevalent. If you are applying for a range of graduate or
management jobs then at some stage you are bound to face a test
similar to this. Practice will make a big difference to your perform-
ance in that test. If you face a highly competitive advanced test in
which you must score well against many other candidates, then
this practice is essential. Some candidates need only revise what
they have not practised for a few years; others will have to set
aside a quite significant amount of time and work on this and the
further practice material recommended below.
These are warm-up questions in that they are not all at the
advanced level. This is intentional and allows the questions to
help the greatest number of readers. You should expect to get the
vast majority of these questions right. If you find that you cannot
achieve this level of accuracy, be prepared to undertake a quite
significant amount of practice to ensure that you reach the
standard demanded by advanced verbal reasoning tests.
Even if you do not face a test of this type, use this material to
develop a good exam technique. If you prefer, take these exercises
under exam-type conditions. Time limits have been suggested for
the sets of questions.
