Pak Army Soldier Verbal Intelligence Test
Soldier, clerk and technician recruitment at an Army Selection and Recruitment Centre includes a written test with verbal and non-verbal intelligence questions, alongside the physical and medical tests.

Discuss this questionHow to prepare for the Pak Army Soldier verbal intelligence test
- The questions are the same types as the officer tests at an easier level. Speed matters most: practise until series, codes and figure series take seconds, not minutes.
- Sit a full timed test first and keep the score. It tells you how much of your preparation the intelligence test needs.
- Learn the usual rules for each type: differences and ratios in number series, alphabet positions (A=1 to Z=26) for letter series and codes, and a quick sketch for directions and family trees.
- Do not get stuck. A question that has not opened in thirty seconds is a question to mark and come back to; the next one is usually quicker.
- Read every explanation for the questions you missed, then sit another full test a few days later.
