Hello everyone! :)

I am a recent non-law graduate, I studied politics and international relations for my BA and I've just completed my MSc in Security Studies at UCL. I am aiming to secure a summer vacation scheme and hopefully the much coveted training contract!

I am keen to improve my performance on the Watson-Glaser test. At the minute, my speed is not great nor is my ability to focus on such little pieces of information. I would like any tips on technique with these tests! :)

Best Wishes,
Miriam
 
Hi @MiriamOnen,

It is great to meet you. Welcome to the forum!

I initially struggled with the WG. I bought a couple of books and some practice packs online. The test really is about practice and learning the specific structures that the WG employs. Once you are familiar with the general nature of the questions being asked, you will improve.

Keep at it as the WG is challenging. As someone who, after working at it, found relative success, I want to reassure you that it does get easier :)
