Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Tests - anyone know about them?
 
My daughter has to take one before her interview and assessment day at a major law firm - a specimen is attached. Any thoughts?

The test has five elements, each covering two pages. On the first page is an example, with suggested answers, then on the second page is a practice test. The answer sheet and suggested correct answers are at the back.

Thanks.

from personal experience it won't really matter how well she does as long as she's been to the right school and University.

I had a classmate who was kicked off the LPC beacuse she failed one subject on her law conversion course including the first resit.

She had however been to the right university so ended up with a Training Contract with a magic circle firm!!

to be a little more helpful she should go onto the civil service website and practice their tests. these sort of tests are all about practice and timing

I did one 7 months ago for a major shipping firm and came in the top 3% and I'm certainly not good at these tests.
