Travel consultant

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for travel consultant selection in the retail, hospitality, travel, tourism, and service sector with 5 skill areas: case analysis, critical thinking, situational judgment, verbal reasoning and planning and scheduling exercises. 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

• Case analysis — Synthesizing multiple documents and making a reasoned recommendation.
• Critical thinking — Evaluating evidence, assumptions, arguments, credibility, and alternative explanations.
• Situational judgment — Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
• Verbal reasoning — Drawing conclusions from written information without relying on outside assumptions.
• Planning and scheduling exercises — Resources, dependencies, deadlines, constraints, and contingency planning.

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 — keys stay on the server — so open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.

1. Client wants cheapest flights but also hates long layovers. Best consultant first move?

   • A. Surface the time/cost trade-off with 2–3 concrete itineraries and ask which constraint wins
   • B. Book the cheapest with a 10-hour layover silently
   • C. Ignore budget and sell luxury only
   • D. Refuse to compare options

2. Honeymoon clients want a remote island with limited medical care; one has a complex condition. Best?

   • A. Hide medical risk
   • B. Raise duty-of-care flags, discuss access-to-care trade-offs, and help them choose knowingly
   • C. Book without questions
   • D. Shame them for traveling

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.
