Read three original fictional passages and decide what follows from each. Use only the supplied text, rather than assumptions about how a workplace normally operates.
This original 12-question practice set describes only the sampled questions. It is not a validated proficiency level, aptitude percentile, language certificate or hiring recommendation. All examples and data are fictional.
Your seven-day plan
Days 1–2: Stated facts
Underline dates, groups and conditions in a short passage. Restate each fact without adding assumptions.
Days 3–4: Supported conclusions
For each claim, find the exact supporting sentence. Separate something possible from something explicitly stated.
Days 5–6: Limits of the evidence
List what the passage does not tell you. Check whether a conclusion concerns respondents, all staff or a different group.
Day 7: check independently
Try one changed example from each topic without the guide. Repeating the same questions can reflect familiarity; use a new example to check transfer.
1. Memo: From 1 June, the support desk opens at 08:00 on weekdays. Weekend hours stay unchanged. Staff may request a flexible start time from their manager. No decision about remote work has been made. Claim: From 1 June, the desk opens at 08:00 on weekdays.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
True
The memo explicitly states the weekday opening time and start date.
2. Memo: From 1 June, the support desk opens at 08:00 on weekdays. Weekend hours stay unchanged. Staff may request a flexible start time from their manager. No decision about remote work has been made. Claim: Weekend hours will also change.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
False
The memo says weekend hours stay unchanged, contradicting the claim.
3. Memo: From 1 June, the support desk opens at 08:00 on weekdays. Weekend hours stay unchanged. Staff may request a flexible start time from their manager. No decision about remote work has been made. Claim: Every flexible-start request will be approved.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
Cannot determine
Staff may request a flexible time, but approval rules and outcomes are not given.
4. Memo: From 1 June, the support desk opens at 08:00 on weekdays. Weekend hours stay unchanged. Staff may request a flexible start time from their manager. No decision about remote work has been made. Claim: A remote-work decision has already been made.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
False
The memo explicitly says no decision about remote work has been made.
5. Update: The new booking pilot includes the East and West offices. Training will take place before launch. Feedback will be collected after two weeks. Participation is optional, and no final rollout date is stated. Claim: Both East and West offices are included.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
True
The update names both offices as participating in the pilot.
6. Update: The new booking pilot includes the East and West offices. Training will take place before launch. Feedback will be collected after two weeks. Participation is optional, and no final rollout date is stated. Claim: Training takes place after launch.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
False
Training is stated to happen before launch.
7. Update: The new booking pilot includes the East and West offices. Training will take place before launch. Feedback will be collected after two weeks. Participation is optional, and no final rollout date is stated. Claim: The update gives an exact final rollout date.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
False
It explicitly states that no final rollout date is given.
8. Update: The new booking pilot includes the East and West offices. Training will take place before launch. Feedback will be collected after two weeks. Participation is optional, and no final rollout date is stated. Claim: The pilot will certainly be judged successful.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
Cannot determine
No result or success criterion is supplied. Optional participation does not establish success.
9. Report: Survey responses came from 60 of 100 invited staff. Among respondents, 36 preferred morning meetings. The survey did not ask why staff chose a time. No responses were collected from external clients. Claim: 60% of invited staff responded.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
True
60 of 100 invited staff responded: 60/100 = 60%.
10. Report: Survey responses came from 60 of 100 invited staff. Among respondents, 36 preferred morning meetings. The survey did not ask why staff chose a time. No responses were collected from external clients. Claim: All staff prefer morning meetings.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
False
Only 36 of the 60 respondents preferred mornings; that does not support a preference shared by all staff.
11. Report: Survey responses came from 60 of 100 invited staff. Among respondents, 36 preferred morning meetings. The survey did not ask why staff chose a time. No responses were collected from external clients. Claim: We know why respondents preferred morning meetings.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
False
The survey did not ask why, so the report does not provide those reasons.
12. Report: Survey responses came from 60 of 100 invited staff. Among respondents, 36 preferred morning meetings. The survey did not ask why staff chose a time. No responses were collected from external clients. Claim: Most external clients prefer mornings.
My answer and reasoning:
Worked answer
Cannot determine
No external client responses were collected. Their preference cannot be inferred from this staff survey.
