Analytical reasoning

A city can fund one transport plan. Plan A cuts journey times and raises fares. Plan B keeps fares the same and reduces cancelled services. Which statement best evaluates the choice?

  • Plan A is better because time is always more valuable.
  • The better plan depends on who pays and who gains the time.
  • Plan B is better because fares never change.
  • Reliability cannot be compared with journey time.

What you receive

Your skills, made visible

  • GlobalPass Score
  • Competency profile
  • PDF score report
  • Verifiable certificate
  • Optional publication on the GlobalPass Index

Your certificate records the assessment completed, your result and the issue date, and carries a credential ID and QR code. Anyone you share it with can open the public verification page and confirm it is genuine and current — your detailed answers stay private.

The result is evidence of this sitting. It is not an employment decision, a prediction of admission, a clinical or personality diagnosis, or a substitute for the judgement of an employer or a university.

Duration depends on the assessment, from 60 minutes for Foundations to 110 minutes for Professional Leadership. Each assessment page shows the exact time. Guides, targeted practice, timed practice and a full mock are available first.
