Hello Tod!!! I 've just read in this forum that there are 52 questions in 30 minutes: 15 minutes for abstract reasoning (32 questions) and 15 minutes for verbal reasoning (20 questions).
But they haven't said anything officially yet. Good luck!
Hello! I have applied!! Good luck to everyone!

I've applied for "European Border and Coast Guard standing corps Interpreters and Cultural Mediators FGIV" last year, for the verbal reasoning, we had 30 question in 15 minutes! For me it was a bit hard because I wasn't so quick reading the passages, so, unfortunately, I failed that test.
As for the abstract reasoning, I passed it as I had enough time to practice before the test.

Some questions were a bit long and you have the chance to read them once before selecting the most appropriate answer, otherwise you would need more than 30 seconds for each question to read the paragraf again.

As far as I remember, passage length varried between 90 - 150 words; for me, it felt like they were a bit long for 30 seconds to read both the passage and the answers then to choose the most apropriate one.
