Summary of the Reading Comprehension test

The Reading Comprehension Test is designed to assess an individual’s ability to understand, interpret, and analyze written information. This test evaluates two critical reading skills: identifying the main thought or central idea of a passage and making logical inferences based on the information provided. These skills are essential for both academic and professional success, as they reflect a person's capacity to process complex texts and extract meaningful insights.

Candidates will encounter a range of passages drawn from scientific, historical, technical, legal, and general-interest topics. Each passage is followed by multiple-choice questions that test the examinee’s ability to recognize the core message, distinguish supporting details, and deduce implications or conclusions that are not explicitly stated. Some questions focus specifically on identifying the author’s primary purpose, tone, or the function of particular sentences, while others require inference-making by piecing together textual evidence.

The Reading Comprehension Test serves as a valuable tool for employers, educators, and academic institutions to gauge a candidate's reading proficiency and critical thinking capabilities. A strong performance on this test indicates the ability to comprehend nuanced material and make informed judgments—skills that are crucial for decision-making, research, communication, and lifelong learning.
