Overview
True, False or Cannot-say — decided fast.
The SOVA verbal section gives you business-report passages and asks you to judge statements True, False or Cannot-say — under a timer that rewards reading for the writer’s actual claim rather than your own assumptions. Ours uses the real format: 5 passages, 3 statements each, exam-true timing.
Marking is server-side against the real answer key, and your report separates the three answer types — so you can see whether Cannot-say judgements or over-inference on False statements are costing you the marks.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How close is Bain SOVA Verbal to the real thing?
Business-report passages judged True, False or Cannot-say under a timer — the real format: 5 passages, 3 statements each, exam-true timing, marked server-side against the real answer key. An independent recreation: same format and pressure, never the official content.
How do the runs work?
Your purchase lives on your account: three attempts of Bain SOVA Verbal, unlocked the moment payment completes. Open the tool, confirm the entry prompt, and one attempt is consumed — re-run freely within that open session. Buy Bain SOVA Verbal or take it with the Bain bundle.
Do my attempts expire?
No. Attempts stay on your account until you use them — buy now, practise when your assessment is scheduled. Only entering the tool consumes an attempt; within an open session you can re-run as often as you like.
Is there a refund guarantee?
The outcome guarantee covers the McKinsey bundle only. Bain SOVA Verbal is a Bain product — outside the guarantee standalone or in the Bain bundle — see the terms.
