Firms receive thousands and thousands of Training Contract applications. The Watson Glaser Test can be used to filter these applications in several ways:
For some firms, the Watson Glaser Test is a sole way to filter out applications. This means that if you do not pass the Watson Glaser Test, the firm would not even consider your paper application.
For others firms, the firm may be use the test results and weigh it up against other information in your application.
There could also be a norm group (who you are being benchmarked against) and there can also be a percentile cut off (can be as low as 20th percentile or as high as 75th percentile).
In this blogpost, I share all the resources I used to practise for my Watson Glaser Test.
