Saville Swift Executive Aptitude Test Sample Questions

The combination of challenging questions and the pressure of a ticking clock on aptitude tests can easily make you feel overwhelmed, which in turn can keep you from reaching the high score you are capable of.

The best way to avoid this is by solving accurate simulations of the types of questions you will face in the real thing - such as the verbal reasoning questions below, taken from our Saville Executive Aptitude Test PrepPack.   

Let's take a look at the sample questions:

Read the text and answer the following questions:

Sinkholes are usually the result of what are known as karst processes. They happen when a layer of rock underneath the ground is dissolved by acidic water. Usually this layer is a soluble carbonate rock, such as limestone or its purer form, chalk. Typically, rainfall seeps through the soil, absorbing carbon dioxide and reacting with decaying vegetation. As a result, the water that reaches the soluble rock is acidic. The acidic water causes erosion of the soluble rock layers beneath the surface, eventually creating cavernous spaces. The soil or sand over the limestone finally collapses into a sinkhole when it is no longer supported because of the cavity below.

1. Acidic water causes erosion of the soil beneath the limestone, causing cavities.

Wrong

Correct!

Wrong

View Explanation

This passage describes a sequence of events resulting in the creation of a sinkhole. In order to prevent confusion (especially when working under time pressure) you may want to create a little diagram that illustrates the sequence of events in a concise way, for example:
rain falls → seeps through the surface to layer of limestone → becomes acidic → erosion of limestone (cavernous spaces) →surface collapses → sinkhole created.
Now we can see that the sentence presented in the question is false.

2. What is the final step in the creation of a sinkhole?

Correct!

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

View Explanation

This passage describes a sequence of events resulting in the creation of a sinkhole. In order to prevent confusion (especially when working under time pressure) you may want to create a little diagram that illustrates the sequence of events in a concise way, for example: rain falls → seeps through the surface to layer of limestone → becomes acidic → erosion of limestone (cavernous spaces) → surface collapses → sinkhole created.
Now it is easier to decipher that the last step in the creation of a sinkhole is A- the sand over the limestone (the surface) collapses.

3. Which one of the following would best replace “soluble” while maintaining the meaning of the passage?

Wrong

Correct!

Wrong

Wrong

View Explanation

The word “soluble” means easily dissolved. When going through the passage we can find hints at the meaning of this word by following the sequence of events:
rain falls → seeps through the surface to layer of (soluble) limestone → becomes acidic → erosion of limestone (cavernous spaces) → surface collapses → sinkhole created.
Since we know that the limestone is described as “soluble” and later on we discover that it is dissolved by acidic water, we can assume that the meaning of the word “soluble” is dissolvable.

4. Which one of the following provides the best summary of the main point of the passage?

Wrong

Wrong

Correct!

Wrong

View Explanation

When summarising a passage detailing a sequence of events resulting in a certain consequence (such as the creation of a sinkhole), we should try and incorporate the main description/key stages in the summary. An over-simplified summary, like the one given in distracter A or a summary emphasising a secondary stage, like the one given in distracter D, will not suffice as they do not target the central mechanism described in the text. As for distracter B, it offers a synonym for the term sinkhole, rather than describing the development of a sinkhole. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as it describes the main cause/stage of the process of creation of a sinkhole.
