Common questions
How is verbal ability different from a grammar test?
A grammar test focuses on rules such as tense and agreement. Verbal ability also covers vocabulary, reading comprehension and the logic of how sentences fit together.
How can I improve my vocabulary quickly for a test?
Learn words in full sentences and practise using context clues, because screenings test words in sentences. Memorising long word lists without context helps less.
What if I do not know any of the words in the options?
Use the sentence to decide whether the missing word should be positive or negative, then remove options that do not fit. You can often reach the answer this way.
