is it appropriate to call grad rec if they havent answered your emails?

is it appropriate to call grad rec if they havent answered your emails?

Unfortunately, it won't be as simple as yes or no on this.

Is your matter urgent? If so, then call. If it is a general enquiry or you haven't been waiting too long (e.g. less than two weeks and you don't really need an answer before then) then I would try to be more patient.

Are there any other hidden gems for Watson Glaser practice? I've used TCLA, jobtestprep, practice aptitude tests and Clifford Chance's free full test?

I've used Graduates First - but only because my uni subscribes to it, so definitely worth checking with the careers service as suggested above!
