The Watson Glaser test... Law firms seem to love it but applicants often find it difficult to navigate this step in the application process.
For those of you who don't know, Watson Glaser is an online test that usually lasts around 3040 minutes. It assesses your "critical thinking" which, in this case, means your ability to logically and rationally consider information that's presented to you.
The questions in the test fall into 5 different categories:
1. Inferences
2. Recognising assumptions
3. Deduction
4. Interpretation
5. Evaluating arguments
There's no secret trick to passing the Watson Glaser test. But, I think that the key to performing well is to really understand what these similarsounding (but very different) categories mean.
In this video, I go over how I would suggest approaching each stage of the test to give yourself the best chance of getting getting through it!
