Included in our PrepPack


We've created a comprehensive Watson Glaser prep course designed to help you succeed. Our course closely mimics the actual test conditions and question types, allowing you to identify and improve your weaker areas across all five critical thinking skills. With this focused preparation, you'll be confident and ready to excel on test day.

Why preparation matters: The Watson Glaser is a standard requirement for many training contracts and vacation scheme applications, testing inferences, assumptions, deductions, interpretation, and argument evaluation. It's known for being genuinely difficult - not because it demands knowledge, but because it challenges intuition with subtle reasoning and counterintuitive rules that catch even well-prepared candidates off guard. Our practice tests are deliberately tuned to expose these traps, so when test day comes, you'll spot them instantly instead of falling for them.

Watson Glaser FAQs

The Watson Glaser Test measures a comprehensive range of critical thinking skills, essential for success in various professional settings. These skills include the ability to analyze and interpret verbal information, draw logical conclusions, and evaluate arguments effectively. The test challenges candidates to think in a creative and logical manner, considering multiple perspectives and systematically evaluating information.

Additionally, it assesses your ability to recognize assumptions, make logical deductions, and interpret information clearly and concisely. By providing a thorough evaluation of your critical thinking ability, the Watson Glaser Test helps employers identify candidates who can approach problems methodically and make well-reasoned decisions. Head to our Watson Glaser test guide page to learn more about the test structure, scoring, and more.


The Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal is considered to be one of the hardest pre-employment tests on the market today, due to its unique and counterintuitive set of rules, as well as its focus solely on critical thinking.


A good score is 33–34 correct answers out of 40, placing candidates at around the 80th percentile — the benchmark typically required for competitive roles such as training contracts at top law firms. Scores are assessed relative to other test takers, so the more applicants competing for a role, the higher the score needed to progress.


The Watson Glaser test assesses five critical thinking skills: logical reasoning (Inferences), critical judgement (Assumptions), logical-based reasoning (Deduction), analytical reasoning (Interpretation), and argument evaluation (Evaluation of Arguments). Each section has its own rules and question format, and success requires mastering all five - candidates cannot compensate for weakness in one area by performing strongly in others.
