Even when you are right, the explanation shows the faster method or the trap you avoided.
A miss is a topic to drill, not a score to worry about. Each subject page links to a reviewer per topic.
The real exam averages about a minute per item. A timed mock shows whether you can keep that pace.
Quick sampler
Five questions, five subjects. Open each answer when you are ready.
Verbal Ability
Answer: B. Bitterness Acrimony is bitterness or ill feeling, usually expressed in sharp words. Indifference means not caring, which is the opposite of strong feeling.
Numerical Ability
Answer: B. 1 5/12 Use the common denominator 12: 9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12, which is 1 5/12. Adding numerators and denominators straight across (5/7) is the classic trap.
Analytical Ability
Answer: B. Surgeon A pen is the tool a writer uses. A scalpel is the tool a surgeon uses. Hospital is a place, and knife is another tool, not the user.
Clerical Ability
Answer: B. Accommodate Accommodate has a double c and a double m. It is one of the most commonly misspelled words in office writing.
General Information
Answer: B. Six years, without reelection Article VII sets a six-year term for the President, who is not eligible for any reelection.
