    Does anyone know what the difference between the Watson Glaser III and the Watson Glaser II test is? Is the only difference the time limit (40 questions in 30 minutes)? Or is it a different format/different types of questions?

    Thanks!!

    The main differences are really at the back end of the system and for the recruiter/test administrator rather than the candidate.

    The candidate won’t really find much difference in the test questions (just come from a larger bank of questions). Depending on the firm, those questions might be more tailored to the sub set of questions within the WG assessment, but that could vary from firm to firm so hard to know specifically how it may be different.

    The popularity of the cultivated garden has been to the detriment of the bee, for the decrease in the quantity of wildflowers has prevented the amount of readily available pollen from growing as much as it would have otherwise.

    "Some botanical conditions in the past were better for bees than they are now." - Assumption made or not made?

    Its from a practice question, can someone help on this please

    Assumption made.

    Some is wide ranging from 1-ALL (so at least 1).

    Passes the Negative test. Needed for statement to make sense.

    I would be wrong if the ‘no common knowledge’ weighs heavily -‘botanical’ is not layman language.

    It also requires a logical leap.
