Verbal Reasoning for Selor exams

This book is aimed at all candidates planning to sit the Irish civil service exam and who wish to prepare as effectively as possible for the verbal reasoning test.

The verbal reasoning test is not a test of knowledge but of logic. To be successful, candidates must display three key qualities:

-      the ability to analyse a statement and understand the meaning of a text;

-      a mastery of certain rules of verbal logic in order to establish whether or not an answer can be deduced from the information in the text;

-      the ability to read a text selectively.

 Success in the verbal reasoning test is, above all, a matter of method and training.

 This book can significantly increase your chance of success. It contains:

-      a comprehensive and detailed methodology illustrated with numerous examples;

-      close to 180 questions ranging from the most common formats (True/False/Cannot say) to the more specific(general comprehension questions, vocabulary questions, tab-style questions);

-      a detailed explanation of the answer to each question.
