Cycle hire scheme

The city's cycle hire scheme opened in 2021 with 40 docking stations and now has 65. Riders made 310,000 trips last year, 18% more than the year before. Most trips last under 20 minutes. The council says fares now cover the scheme's running costs.

Honey can ferment if its jar is left open.

Why honey keeps

Honey keeps for years because it holds very little water and is acidic, so most bacteria cannot grow in it. It is also hygroscopic: it draws moisture from the air. Honey in an open jar slowly takes on water, and its yeasts can then begin to ferment it.

What to expect from a verbal reasoning test at the Royal Air Force

What we know about the tests, which format this one can take and how to practise for it.

Does the Royal Air Force use verbal reasoning tests?

We do not have a list of the tests the Royal Air Force sets. A verbal test is one of the two that large employers set most often, and it usually comes in the same invitation as a numerical one.

What the Royal Air Force hiring process does have is a stage of online tests: it is stage 2 of 5. The email that invites you to it names each test, so read it before you choose what to practise. All five stages are on our page about the Royal Air Force.

Which verbal test format will the Royal Air Force use?

We do not know which publisher the Royal Air Force uses, and for a verbal test it matters. Four of the six in the list ask you to mark a statement True, False or Cannot say. Talent Q asks multiple-choice questions, and Cubiks asks about words.

Ours are mostly of the first kind, with a few multiple-choice tests among them.

These are the usual formats, and employers can set their own time limits. Your invitation states the exact number of questions and the time allowed. SHL, Kenexa, Saville, Aon, Talent Q and Cubiks are trademarks of their owners, who are not connected with this site.

How do you practise for a verbal test at the Royal Air Force?

Start with the statement, then look for the sentence in the passage that decides it. Use only what the passage says: when it does not decide the statement either way, the answer is Cannot say.

Start with Verbal Reasoning Test 1: it is free and needs no account. Then work through the verbal tests in the package with the timer on, because pace is most of this test. For each statement you get wrong, read the explanation before you start the next test.

  • Dan Morgan, Bristol

    Revolut

    Revolut ops role had a logical test. Did the inductive and diagrammatic ones here for a week. Passed first go. Decent price too.

  • Chiara

    Good. Sometimes the explanation is a bit short for the harder questions but you can usually work it out from the steps given.

  • William Hartley

    DB numerical

    Deutsche Bank numerical test passed. The practice tests here are a close match in difficulty and the timer got me used to the pace. Reports after each test are detailed.

  • Sana

    Best numerical practice ive found and I tried 3 sites. The solutions show the quickest method not just the correct one.

  • Felix Baumann, Berlin

    BMW

    Good preparation for the BMW online assessment, the numerical and inductive parts in particular. The real one had an English language section which obviously this doesn't cover. Still good.

  • Ravi Chandran, Coventry

    Philips graduate programme. Inductive reasoning section is what I came for. Six inductive and six diagrammatic tests here, did each twice. Real test was the same flavour of pattern questions. Through to the next round.
