Hi, I heard back on Friday and got invited to the AC! Finally received my Watson Glaser results today and got 30/40, 83rd percentile. I think that they look at your WGT in combination of the skills you got in the Linklaters Capp Assesment!
Hope this helps!
I also got 30/40 but was in just the 38th percentile! I thought my feedback for the Capp Assestment was also overall positive, how strange... thanks anyway!

Percentiles are generated by different things than just how many questions you got right.
If the exercise is timed, then how long it took you to complete the assessment can effect your percentile.
If you choose the “worst” answer you can also get negative scores.
Some questions can be weighted more than others, particularly if they are seen as more complex.
It’s not unknown for people to get the same “raw score” (or 30 out of 40) and have very different percentiles.

Yes, I think I must have really messed up my conclusions section as I got 31/40 overall but 53rd percentile. Thanks for the explanation!
Yeah... Not sure it makes any difference but I was probably one of the last to complete the test as I had an extension

Because 62 percent of the people in the norm group got higher than 30 on the same assessment.

when you take the test (in relation to other applicants) has no impact on your percentile score.
I mean I understand the statistics behind it haha, it just seems high.

Hi all,
I was in the 28th percentile and was invited to AC on Friday. I don’t think it’s worth stressing over what your percentile score was, I think it’s based on many factors.
