Pak Navy Verbal Intelligence Test

The Pakistan Navy initial tests at a recruitment and selection centre open with the intelligence tests, verbal and non-verbal, timed and on computer, followed by the academic test for your branch.

The verbal intelligence test is reasoning with words, letters and numbers against the clock. Each question is short, and the difficulty is the volume and the pace: you are expected to recognise the type of question at a glance and apply its rule without hesitating.

How to prepare for the Pak Navy verbal intelligence test

  • The intelligence tests are the gate for every branch, from Operations to Supply, so a month of daily timed practice before your centre date is the preparation that changes the outcome.
  • 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.
