A student reading a passage and taking notes - free verbal reasoning practice

Verbal reasoning asks you to judge statements using only the passage in front of you - not outside knowledge, even when a stated fact seems wrong. That single rule is why "Cannot Say" confuses so many candidates.

A typical test pairs a short business or general-interest passage with several statements you mark True, False or Cannot Say, usually under about a minute per statement. True means the passage supports it, False means the passage contradicts it, and Cannot Say means the passage does not give you enough to decide either way. The trap is smuggling in what you already know: if the text is silent on a point, the answer is Cannot Say however obvious it feels.

The fastest readers do not read the passage in full first - they scan the statement, then hunt the passage for the specific claim it turns on. Practise the free timed test below, then read the worked reasoning for each True / False / Cannot Say decision until the distinction is automatic. Every question here is free with a full worked answer, no signup and no card.

Common questions

What does "Cannot Say" mean in verbal reasoning?

It means the passage does not give enough information to judge the statement true or false. You answer only from the text provided, never from your own knowledge.

How do I pass a verbal reasoning test?

Read only what the passage states, decide strictly on that evidence, and practise the format so the True/False/Cannot Say distinction becomes automatic.
