AD5 Verbal Reasoning — Performance Simulation Series (EN, ES)
Tailored preparation for:
Verbal Reasoning (English, Spanish, Italian)
5 Full Simulations · 35 Minutes Each
AD5 Verbal Reasoning — Performance Simulation Series (EN)
A structured exam-realistic verbal reasoning programme designed for candidates preparing for the EPSO AD5 verbal reasoning test in EN, ES, IT.
The series includes 5 full-length simulations of 20 questions each (100 questions total), completed under 35-minute timed conditions — just like the real test.
The simulations are progressively more difficult: 1 beginner test, 1 medium test, and 2 hard tests — so you build method, then speed, then resilience under pressure.
In AD5 competitions, verbal reasoning is often the single highest-weighted test component (Preliminary: 40% · Final: 35%). You typically need at least 10/20 to remain in the competition — and far closer to 20/20 to be truly competitive for the reserve list.
Verbal reasoning measures your ability to interpret written information accurately and eliminate incorrect conclusions under time pressure. The challenge is rarely “vocabulary” — it is precision: recognising logical limits, absolute qualifiers, and subtle distortions.
With 20 questions in 35 minutes, time management is critical. Candidates must move efficiently while staying logically disciplined.
This series is built around realistic elimination logic and calibrated difficulty progression — helping you move from safe threshold performance (10/20) to competitive reserve-list scores. Developed by an experienced test designer and a Mensa member.

FAQ
Is this close to EPSO verbal reasoning style and difficulty?
Yes. The simulations are designed to reflect the style candidates typically face in EPSO verbal reasoning tests:
short passages, careful logical interpretation, and strict elimination of unsupported conclusions.
While no provider can predict exact questions, the series trains the recurring patterns and
typical traps (absolute qualifiers, “scope shifts”, implied causality, and overgeneralisation)
that decide scores under time pressure.
The final two simulations are intentionally harder to strengthen elimination discipline and reduce “surprise” on test day.
Why 4 simulations?
Verbal reasoning improves fastest through full exam cycles: 20 questions in 35 minutes, repeated at increasing difficulty.
This trains the real bottleneck: moving quickly while staying logically precise.
The series is built to be efficient: beginner → medium → hard → hard gives you structured progression without unnecessary volume.
Is verbal reasoning really that important for AD5?
In AD5 competitions, verbal reasoning is often the highest weighted reasoning component
(Preliminary: 40% · Final: 35%). A minimum score is required to remain in the competition,
but top reserve-list performance usually requires scores much closer to the maximum.
Exact weighting and thresholds can vary by competition. Always refer to your Notice of Competition.
How long do I keep access?
Access is valid until 31 December 2026.
Who is this for?
AD5 candidates preparing for the verbal reasoning test in EN, IT, ES who want serious,
exam-realistic timed practice with progressive difficulty — from foundational accuracy to hard-test resilience.
