Course Content Breakdown
The Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA) is one of the most widely used pre-employment assessments in the UK, particularly in the legal profession where it is a standard requirement for training contract and vacation scheme applications. The test measures critical thinking across five distinct areas: drawing inferences, recognising assumptions, making deductions, interpreting information, and evaluating arguments. It is known for being genuinely difficult — not because it tests knowledge, but because it challenges intuition, using subtle reasoning and counterintuitive rules that catch even well-prepared candidates off guard. A score of at least 33–34 out of 40 is typically needed to rank competitively for the most sought-after roles.

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.
