Thank you for this! Are there any practice tests you feel would help? I've done a few verbal reasoning ones
Funnily enough, I failed the HSF test for their mentoring scheme towards the end of August, but passed this time. I watched a few YouTube videos on Watson glasers in general, did a practice on graduates first which was way harder than the real thing, also practiced Clifford Chance's version which was reasonable. Furthermore, I took two mini practice HSF tests on their website, to get me used to the style (one was a quiz and the other a practice test I believed they recommended in the email, I will link both the practice test and quiz below). The good thing about HSF's verbal reasoning section is that possible answers are either "true, cannot say or false" unlike official watson glasers where you are given five options. Also, the verbal reasoning section is at the end of the test, so make sure you accurately speed through the initial two sections, to give yourself enough time for that important section. Obviously, that does not mean select random answers for the SJT and values section though. Look up their key competencies and keep them in mind when doing the values section, and be yourself. For the SJT section try to select what you believe the best options to be.
