Frequently asked questions
What makes this a 'new type' of Para Jumbles question?
Instead of just arranging all sentences, these questions give six labelled sentences (A-F) and ask targeted questions like 'what is the FOURTH sentence in the correct order', rather than only the full sequence.
What topic is the example passage about?
The example passage is about COVID-19 healthcare guidance - how early pandemic advice to defer elective procedures should be updated now that many areas never saw the expected COVID-19 patient surge.
Why does this format ask for a specific sentence position?
Asking for just the fourth sentence (rather than the full order) tests whether you can logically place one sentence correctly without necessarily solving the entire sequence, which is a faster, more targeted skill.
How many sentences are jumbled in this type of question?
This set uses six sentences (A through F) per question, one more than the standard five-sentence ParaJumbles format.
