Many members have suggested free resources elsewhere in the forum. Have you tried the practice tests on the websites of firms like Clifford Chance, Hogan Lovells and Linklaters?

For paid materials, I would recommend Assessment Day (I don’t have any affiliation with the company). I wasn’t aware of the free resources, so I bought Assessment Day’s verbal reasoning tests a while ago and found them very useful. I remember the annual subscription costs £11. You have accesss to 9 Watson Glaser style practice tests and a couple of tests from other partners.

What I like about Assessment Day’s tests is that you have the option to take each section of a test independently. For example, I did a full test and found out I was not good at drawing conclusions. I could then focus on practising this type of questions by selecting the “drawing conclusions” section of other tests. I also like the detailed explanations provided in the solutions.

I personally think doing a lot of practice tests doesn’t necessarily mean you will do well in the real test. Those tests are quite boring and repetitive, so overpracticing can be counterproductive as you find yourself having brain fatigue. What is more important is that you identify the common “tricks” and how to approach them.

Good luck!
