Verbal abil Psychometric Success Verbal Ability - Word Meaning Practice Test 1ity Word MeaningPractice test 1
ord meaning questions are designed to measure your vocabulary, specifically your understanding of word meanings. To achieve this, the questions focus on
the relationships between words and the questions are phrased such that you need to know the precise meaning of the words given in order to select the correct answer. These types of question appear in all levels of verbal ability tests.
These questions often use synonyms and antonyms (words which have either the same or opposite meanings), dictionary definitions and word pairs. Another type of word meaning question uses words which sound similar but have different meanings. These are called homophones and an example would be the words allude and elude. Allude means referred and elude means escaped from. Once again, the test designer needs to choose common homophones which are in regular use and this leaves a relatively restricted list to choose from.
