You seem to be taking all the right steps for your current stage, in that you are both slowly entering the applications scene and also building up your candidate profile and CV! The one thing I would advise you to also start doing is to apply for and attend some open days and other careers events. These may become extremely useful to you next year if you start applying for vacation schemes. Regarding your WG struggles, the way I prepared for it was by creating a sheet of crucial information for each type of assessment and having that in front of me. I copied bellow the bullet points I had down, you may find them useful:Assumptions = unstated piece of information which must be true for the statement in question to be true.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do not apply your own general knowledge or moral standards that are not included in the statement.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do not generalise.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This section tests whether the statement in question assumes something, not whether you can assume something from the statement. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Don’t conflate ‘assumable’ with ‘probable’.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The test:</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Identify the premises and the conclusion.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Does the conclusion logically follow from the premises?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If not, does the assumption offered validate the conclusion? Is it a necessity for the assumption to be true in order that the conclusion of the statement logically follows from the premise?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Apply the ‘Inverse Test’: negate the assumption and if the conclusion is damaged, the assumption is correct. </li> </ul>This notes were partly based on an excellent course provided by TCLA, I highly recommend taking a look <a href="https://classes.thecorporatelawacademy.com/p/beating-the-watson-glaser-test" target="_blank">here</a> if you haven't already. Finally, I wanted to wish you best of look in your application journey, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!</blockquote>
