Genuinely, its all practice, practice, practice its also about timing aswell. Many people spend too long on the test realistically you should spend around 25 mins not over half an hour. My advice would be to ask chatgpt to give you watson glazer practice and promt it to train you. You have so much online resources to be great at the watson glazer, i found that the more you do it your brain process information differently and you start making your own deductions assumptions and conclusions in your daily life.

It took me months to become truly confident, without spending so much money on prep courses. You got this, if you know your good for it, go for it!!!!
This is really reassuring, thank you for this!
I'm hoping to spend some time regularly on this and be prepared in a month when major application deadlines kick in!
