About this practice suite
This suite prepares candidates for translation screening selection in the media, communications, language, and creative operations sector with 5 skill areas: verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, written communication, attention and concentration and situational judgment. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite (none are taken from live or leaked exams), and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.
Skills this suite practises
- Verbal reasoning: Drawing conclusions from written information without relying on outside assumptions.
- Reading comprehension: Understanding passages, instructions, policies, technical material, and workplace documents.
- Written communication: Grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, clarity, tone, proofreading, and workplace writing.
- Attention and concentration: Sustained focus, selective attention, and accuracy under time pressure.
- Situational judgment: Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
Sample questions from the guided bank
Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here, because keys stay on the server. Open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.

- B. Fail or flag: material condition dropped
- C. Pass if glossary unused

Practice modes and timing
Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.
| Mode | Questions | Duration | Start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guided practice | 10 | 15 minutes | Open |
| Timed mini-test | 12 | 18 minutes | Open |
| Full simulation | 30 | 45 minutes | Open |
