Knowing the rules is important in any test you take, but it is especially important here.
Here’s why:
In most sections of the Watson Glaser test sections, intuition and common sense will lead you to the wrong answer.
So, knowing WHEN to use common sense and intuition, and HOW to use them should be a major part of your preparation plan.
This is where tip number 3 can be extremely helpful.
Different people will find different sections of the test particularly challenging.
Therefore, it is important to know in advance what YOUR weak spots are, and to address them in your preparation. For instance, if you reach a score of 11/12 in the Evaluation of Arguments section, focus your preparation on sections in which you are weaker.
Our comprehensive Preparation pack contains over 400 practice questions, including practice tests and study guides focused on different test sections to improve personal weak spots.
Unlike other tests, time is not a substantial obstacle on the Watson Glaser.
However, there are two key points you should consider when it comes to time:
There is no penalty for wrong answers, so it is better to make an educated guess if you’re running out of time. This is one of the advantages of the multiple choice format.
As I mentioned earlier, the Watson Glaser test instructions are complex and unique.
Being very well familiar with the test instructions before the actual test will have a massive effect on both your score and your ability to finish the test on time.
So, on test day, just before you start your test, make sure you read and understand the instructions perfectly. This will allow you to merely brush over them on the test itself, leaving more time for solving questions.
Remember: On the actual test, the clock does not stop when you read the instructions!

There are two main versions of the test, however for you as a test-taker, there is no practical difference between the two versions. Both versions have the same content, the number of questions, and time limit.
Watson Glaser II (WG-II)
The traditional format of the test and is divided into two forms – D and E. Form E is considered slightly more difficult, but the content and formatting of both forms are identical.
Watson Glaser III (WG-III)
A revision of the WG-II test. The main difference is that the WG-III can be taken in an unsupervised setting, due to the "item-bank" from which questions are randomly selected.
