[QUOTE="Naheed_PB, post: 33570, member: 7051"] Hi Jessica, I've been a lurker on this forum for quite a time! I'm incoming second year student(law),a nd I have a question about Watson glaser tests. This year, I've gotten some first year schemes(like HSF, DLA Piper, Linklaters), however, also applied to many other firms where they used a Watson Glazer test. I usually got past the app stage(assuming it wasn't automatic), but failed at the Watson test. So that is a area I need to work on. I was particularly disappointed as I got an invite for Freshfields, and CMS , and got rejected following the test. As I think you was at Freshfields a few years ago, do you know the general or maybe suggested percentile to aim for, especially for magic circle firms? I have googled and have seen on this forum that some firms, like Hogan Lovells, have a high percentile like 80+ (not sure if that is true).I've been practising a lot lately, and I average around 62 percentile, the highest being 70 for me, so I'm really worried as i feel like I wasted a lot of applications this year because of this stage, and am hoping that firms like Freshfields and Clifford Chance do not have such a high percentile..
