[QUOTE="Kay Aston, post: 182384, member: 36759"] Hi [USER=35984]@futuretcholder[/USER] , thanks for your question, You are correct that CC send the WG after you submit your initial written application, so it is part of the first hurdle in that sense! Your WG score is assessed alongside your written application, but it is great that you're thinking about how to maximise your score here, because it's definitely something you can prepare for. I think the most important thing for the WG is to really understand what each section is asking from you, and to reframe your thinking completely for each section. It sounds like you understand this well and have identified that you struggle with assumptions (which is the section that a lot of people struggle with!). This means that you can take the time to really practice assumptions questions, and make notes to help you understand better for the real test. It's also a good idea to make a 'cheat sheet' with a few cues for each section to help you get into the right way of thinking. The next step is practice, practice, practice! Lots of firms have free WG tests that you can take, I personally paid for a service where I could practice lots of questions by section too (Job Test Prep). Although I don't think that this is necessary to do well, I did like being able to study each section and then practice questions relating to just that section. Finally, there are tons of helpful resources on YouTube, and here on TCLA, relating to each section, so definitely take a look at those! Hope this was helpful, happy to discuss further! [/QUOTE]
