Hi! Does anyone know what website is best to practice Watson Glaser tests on? I saw that several websites have a couple practice questions but then make you pay to access the practice tests, are there any websites that do not do this? If not, what websites do you suggest provide the widest range of resources and would be worth paying for?

Also, I'm assuming the best way to revise for WG tests is to practice, but are there any other suggestions on how to revise for them?

Thank you in advance!

Anyone waiting for Sidley post application?

I practised using the critical thinking tests on Assessment day! Very helpful. Went from failing for 3 years, to finally passing a couple this year! Attend a event about WGs, or watch a YouTube vid which explains each section of the test, create a cheat sheet with you can use and get practising!! Best of luck

Grad rec is a small team of two so although everyone does receive the tests, these are sent manually rather than automatically. In short, I wouldn’t worry
