[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 91212, member: 17155"] Deductions are a type of conclusion that your draw from a given statement. Deductions involve logical analysis of the statment, whereas interpretations (the other form of 'draw conclusions' in the WG) require you to demonstrate your understanding of the statement. The line between the two is fine but becomes more apparent with practice. I really like how this post breaks down the different components of the WG and I believe this will help with understanding them better before you practice- [URL]https://digestiblenotes.com/law/legal_guides/watson-glaser.php[/URL] Including my best tips for the WG- [LIST] [*][I]Build an instinct for critical thinking[/I]- You can only achieve this through practice, practice, practice! I do not believe you need to buy tests to do this, free tests should suffice. [*][I]Crack the code[/I]- develop a pattern for your tests that helps you understand how to answer them. Try writing down the things you're looking out for in each test and use and build on your notes every time you practice so that you get closer to acing the WG. [*][I]Look out for logical fallacies[/I]- remember that correlation is not the same causation (for example, I'm ill and it's December is not the same as I'm ill because it's December!) and read up on red herring and straw man arguments as these regularly feature in WGs. [*][I]Be mentally prepared[/I]- take the test when you're relatively well-rested and know you won't be disturbed or rushed. Try not to practice too much on the day of the WG as well so that you approach it with a fresh perspective! [/LIST] I hope this helps! Congratulations and all the best for your WG test- rooting for you! 🥳 [/QUOTE]
