Verbal reasoning:
Adding a letter to make words practice
In this verbal reasoning question type,
remember:
You need to add one letter that will create four new words.
The same letter must be used in both sets of brackets.
The letter must complete the word in front of
the brackets AND the word after the brackets.

Top tips for adding-letter questions:

1. Make sure that you have made four words and

not just two.
2. Make sure that all four words are correctly
spelled.
3. Make sure that all four words are proper,
real words.

4. Work systemically through the alphabet, starting

with the letter A.
5. Avoid guessing the answer though if you are
completely stuck a guess is better than a blank
answer space!

Dont forget: when you

are completing a verbal reasoning test in
multiple-choice format the correct answer will
always be one of the choices that you are given
on the answer sheet. If your answer does not
match one of the answers that you are given
then your answer is wrong!
