Verbal Comprehension Tests
Tests of verbal comprehension, as well as spelling and grammar tests are designed to assess written language skills of an individual.
Verbal comprehension measures a person’s grasp of the English language often through their breadth and width of vocabulary
Tests of English language skills such as spelling and grammar are available which measure these specific abilities. We also offer basic English literacy tests, which differ from the straight comprehension tests.
Here is a sample of some of the verbal and language tests we recommend:
EAS1 – Verbal Comprehension
This verbal comprehension ability test measures the ability to understand written words and the meaning associated with them.
For each test item, the examinee selects the synonym for a designated word from the four possibilities presented. This ability test determines how broad a vocabulary a person has for both written and oral communication. This test is relevant to all roles where a strong grasp of the English language is required.
