Verbal Ability gives you 15 questions in 15 minutes. The questions are standard professional English — error spotting, prepositions, vocabulary — and the section is where well-prepared candidates bank time for review.
What the verbal section covers
- Error identification — countable vs uncountable, between/among
- Fill in the blanks — prepositions and verb forms (bound by duty, travel on)
- Synonyms, antonyms and correctly-spelled words
- Idioms and phrases (“out of spirits”)
- Sentence rearrangement (para jumbles)
- Short reading comprehension passages
