Honey can ferment if its jar is left open.

Why honey keeps

Honey keeps for years because it holds very little water and is acidic, so most bacteria cannot grow in it. It is also hygroscopic: it draws moisture from the air. Honey in an open jar slowly takes on water, and its yeasts can then begin to ferment it.

What to expect from a verbal reasoning test at the Goldman Sachs Group

What we know about the tests, which format this one can take and how to practise for it.

Does the Goldman Sachs Group use verbal reasoning tests?

We do not have a list of the tests the Goldman Sachs Group sets. A verbal test is one of the two that large employers set most often, and it usually comes in the same invitation as a numerical one.

What the Goldman Sachs Group hiring process does have is a stage of online tests: it is stage 2 of 5. The email that invites you to it names each test, so read it before you choose what to practise. All five stages are on our page about the Goldman Sachs Group.

Which verbal test format will the Goldman Sachs Group use?

We do not know which publisher the Goldman Sachs Group uses, and for a verbal test it matters. Four of the six in the list ask you to mark a statement True, False or Cannot say. Talent Q asks multiple-choice questions, and Cubiks asks about words.

Ours are mostly of the first kind, with a few multiple-choice tests among them.

These are the usual formats, and employers can set their own time limits. Your invitation states the exact number of questions and the time allowed. SHL, Kenexa, Saville, Aon, Talent Q and Cubiks are trademarks of their owners, who are not connected with this site.

How do you practise for a verbal test at the Goldman Sachs Group?

Start with the statement, then look for the sentence in the passage that decides it. Use only what the passage says: when it does not decide the statement either way, the answer is Cannot say.

Start with Verbal Reasoning Test 1: it is free and needs no account. Then work through the verbal tests in the package with the timer on, because pace is most of this test. For each statement you get wrong, read the explanation before you start the next test.

    GS

    Goldman Sachs process is mostly interviews now but the numerical kept me sharp for the case questions. Good quality. Four stars because the tests are good, just be aware GS do not test everyone the same way.

    Thank you!

    I recently purchased the Goldman Sachs package and was blown away by the quality. The realistic test scenarios were perfect for preparing for the real assessment. The solutions and explanations were clear and the test report and percentile estimation were incredibly helpful. Highly recommend.
