I am training for a career with the greater manchester county fire service.whilest looking for information on recruitment on there web pages i was given examples of books to buy. one of which was HOW TO PASS VERBAL REASONING (By Dr Harry Tolley professor at the University of Nottingham,and Dr Ken Thomas a chartered psychologist and author). I would like to thank them both for re-opening my mind to a world I had forgot was there.Whilest reading there book I have been given a hole new understanding of written english.I have also a better understanding of exams,the way they work and how to handle the nervousness before the exams, which is all thanks to this book and HOW TO PASS NUMERACY TESTS (Dr Harry Tolley and Dr Ken Thomas).I have never been a "reading type" of person but i will be buying more of there books as I want to be as prepared as possible.
 An extremely useful text that covers most of the topics. February 19, 2001

This book provided me with excellent information on verbal reasoning tests. It begins by giving you an overview of what the tests are looking for, and then goes on to remind you of the rules of English; many of which none of us have learnt since we were in secondary school.From this basis there are then a variety of practice questions, and then mock exams. This is extremely useful as the practice questions help to get you up to speed, and then the exam helps you get use to the timed conditions. I have found this to be a very valuable text, and am convinced that it has helped me to pass recent Verbal Reasoning Tests. It is very easy to read, and provides you with just the right amount of information to equip you with the necessary skills for the exams. I would not hesitate to recommend this text to anybody - an absolute must for anybody having to face the daunting challenge of Verbal Reasoning Tests!
 Not the same as the verbal reasoning tests of the top jobs! August 30, 2000

The book is tiny - no wonder its only 8. I found it was completely different to the verbal reasoning tests given by the likes of Psion, BAe, KPMG, Arthur Anderson...etc. However, I must say that the book slightly improved my verbal reasoning in a way. The tests vary significantly in difficulty and there is no explanation of the answers what so ever! One or two tests do improve the way you look at sentences and make you understand and see patterns. No tests with paragraphs of text then questions where the answers should be true, false or can't say. That's what I wanted!
