If you wonder, where those guys from epso office take those data for verbal reasoning tests. I think mostly from EUSTAT homepage. If you have a spare time, you can go and check out, and try to play with data for yourself, you can ask similar questions as in quiz and try to answer to yourself.

If you are short in time, randomly fill answers like this
1 x—
2 -x–
3 –x-
4 —x
5 x—
It gives you at least 25% if you dont believe, try it in tests given below.
First use ear plugs, it is really necessary because this test is running out of time so you should not lose any seconds. Don’t read the introduction on every question- it is same to all questions.
Second- type in random answers- I mean really random, because if you start to think, which answer should be the correct one- its likely not right, it will takes minute and gives you 0-25% of right answers. Only right answers are counted, so it works, in Prometric answers are shuffled so it is random. From human psychology there is known- when professor fills out list of wrong and right answers, right answer will be second more often, if you don’t believe, try to fill out some question form yourself and you noticed that it it very hard to invent 3 wrong answers and to keep in right answer, random number generators rarely takes maximum and minimum values, so it must be second or third answer more often than others.
Finally- read the question first and try to figure out as quick as possible, where the answer is- in which sentence. If you suspect this question is difficult to you- just mark it, point some answer and go forward. Avoid of opposite meanings by example “elephants could extinct” or “elephants are left to extinction” is opposite meanings. In fact answer could be on really small piece of text, so you don’t need to read all. Try to read as less as possible.
At last- if one answer looks different- more detailed number, longer sentence, it is supposed to be right, because nobody worries a lot about wrong answers. Like 4 answers 1 1.2 2 3 4 which one supposed to be right?
