In the context of the PiCAT, what is the focus of the Verbal section?

The focus of the Verbal section in the PiCAT is on everyday and technical vocabulary. This encompasses a broad range of language skills, including the understanding and use of words and phrases that are commonly encountered in both everyday life and specific fields of study or work. By including both everyday vocabulary and technical terms, the section aims to evaluate a test-taker's ability to communicate effectively across different contexts, which is crucial for success in various environments, including academic and vocational settings. This dual focus ensures that individuals are well-equipped to understand and use language appropriately in diverse situations.
