Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 218427" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hi [USER=30998]@flower1[/USER] I do not think there is a "best" WG preparation resource - rather, I would say there are a variety of tests and courses that each have their strengths and weaknesses in terms of the sections they prepare you for. You should also bear in mind that different firms have slightly different types of WG tests, where the balance of hard/easy questions may differ and the weighing of your answer in determine your score and progression may differ. As such, my advice would be to use a variety of different sources (particularly the free ones) to have as holistic of a preparation as possible. Nonetheless, with the risk of sounding biased, the best resource for my own WG preparation has been <a href="https://classes.thecorporatelawacademy.com/p/beating-the-watson-glaser-test" target="_blank">TCLA's course on it</a>. After I carefully went through it and made detailed notes and then created a document with best tips to remember when taking the test, I saw a marked improvement in my results. Besides that, probably the most representative test I have taken of a real WG test has actually been <a href="https://jobs.cliffordchance.com/early-careers-me" target="_blank">this mock one </a>offered for free by Clifford Chance. I have also copied bellow a list of some other free WG resources you may want to look at:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.thelawyerportal.com/e-learning/free-watson-glaser-practice-test/" target="_blank">The Lawyer Portal Free Practice Test</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.talentlens.com/about/practice-tests.html" target="_blank">Pearson Free Practice Test</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.practiceaptitudetests.com/testing-publishers/watson-glaser/#freeTests" target="_blank">Practice Aptitude Tests Free Practice Test</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.assessmentday.com/watson-glaser-critical-thinking.htm" target="_blank">Assessment Day Free Practice Test</a></li> </ul></blockquote>
