A repair shop completed 240 repairs in April and 300 in May. During May it also introduced an online booking form. The report gives no information about repair prices, the kinds of repairs completed, or the shop’s costs.
The repair shop made a larger profit in May than in April.

Short practice drills
View your results and progressEach short drill has five questions in one section, with no timer. Allow about three to five minutes, then use your worked review to understand the reasoning before trying another skill.
All 24 people who attended the evening workshop had booked a place. The workshop had 30 seats.
Some seats were unoccupied during the workshop.
Inference
Judge how likely a conclusion is, from true to false, using the facts and appropriate everyday knowledge.
“We should send appointment reminders to reduce the number of missed visits.”
Some missed visits happen because people forget their appointments.
Recognition of assumptions
Identify what a statement takes for granted, even when it does not say it directly.
All inspectors have safety training. No trainee is an inspector.
No trainee has safety training.
Deduction
Decide whether a conclusion must follow from the statements given. Possibility alone is not enough.
Complaints concerned 120 of 3,000 April deliveries and 90 of 1,500 May deliveries.
The proportion of deliveries with complaints fell in May.
Interpretation
Decide whether the evidence supports a conclusion beyond reasonable doubt.
Should a library offer online booking as well as its staffed booking desk?
No. People without internet cannot use services that are only online.
Evaluation of arguments
Accept each argument’s factual claims as true, then judge whether it is important, directly relevant and supports its stated Yes or No position.
Full practice tests
Choose a timed simulation or an untimed sitting covering all five sections.
All 24 people who attended the evening workshop had booked a place. The workshop had 30 seats.
Some seats were unoccupied during the workshop.
40-question timed simulation
Bring all five reasoning skills together under time pressure. Read the instructions first, then start the clock. The sitting ends automatically when time runs out.
All 24 people who attended the evening workshop had booked a place. The workshop had 30 seats.
Some seats were unoccupied during the workshop.
25-question untimed practice
Work through five questions in each of the five sections at your own pace. Revisit answers, optionally record your confidence, and review the complete sitting.
One pass for Watson–Glaser. It covers all five drills, their replays and both full assessment modes for your selected period. Other assessment categories use separate passes.
Trial-eligible accounts can start each drill once free. Full assessments and replays require a pass unless your account already includes access. Some accounts need a pass before any practice. Sign in to see your access before starting; saved results and explanations stay free to view.
About the five sections
A conclusion can be plausible without being certain. Read the instructions for each section carefully: the standard you are judging changes as you move through the practice.

Practice results and explanations
Every question has a worked explanation. At the end, see where you were accurate and where a different reading of the evidence would help. If you record confidence, your review points you towards confident mistakes first.
- Your number correct out of five in a drill, or 25 or 40 across all sections.
- Your answer, the correct answer and an explanation for every question.

Preparing for the official assessment
Pearson TalentLens lists Watson–Glaser as a 40-item assessment across five subtests, with an administration time of 30–40 minutes. Check your employer’s invitation for the timing and conditions that apply to you. Read Pearson’s assessment overview.
Our 40-question, 30-minute simulation follows the length and timing described by Clifford Chance’s recruitment guidance. Its question mix and navigation are our practice design; your employer’s setup may differ.
Standard and stretch are editorial labels for our original questions, not measured equivalents of official test difficulty. We are collecting practice evidence to assess difficulty; the questions have not been equated to the official assessment. Your practice accuracy does not establish an official percentile or predict whether you will pass.
For publisher familiarisation materials, visit Pearson TalentLens practice tests. Pearson also explains that its familiarisation items are not calibrated in the same way as live assessment items.
Questions about the practice
Can I practice one skill or take a full assessment?
Yes. Choose a five-question untimed drill in inference, assumptions, deduction, interpretation or arguments. For all five skills together, choose a 40-question simulation with a 30-minute limit or a 25-question untimed practice. Every mode includes a worked review. Our questions are original, and our simulation is not an official or equated Watson–Glaser test.
Do I need an account or payment to practice?
Sign in to check your access. Accounts eligible for a trial can start each of the five skill drills once free. Full assessments and drill replays require a Watson–Glaser pass unless your account already includes access. Some accounts require a pass before any practice. One Watson–Glaser pass covers all five drills and both full assessment modes for your selected period; it does not unlock other assessment categories. You see the price before paying, with no subscription or automatic renewal. Saved results and worked explanations remain free to view.
When does the timer start and what happens when it ends?
You can read all section instructions before starting the timer. Once the timed simulation starts, the 30-minute timer continues while you work or leave the tab. At the deadline, the sitting ends automatically with your recorded answers. Your completed result is saved to your account. Our practice lets you go back and change answers before time expires; follow your employer’s own navigation rules in the real assessment.
Will I see different questions when I practice again?
The bank contains 80 original questions, with standard and stretch items across all five sections. Questions can repeat across sittings, and familiar questions may feel easier. Repeated practice scores should be interpreted in that context.
What does my score mean?
Your score is the number correct out of five in a skill drill, 25 in untimed practice or 40 in a timed simulation, with a breakdown by section. Compare the reasoning in your review before comparing scores from different modes or question sets. Standard and stretch are editorial difficulty labels; the questions have not been equated to the official assessment. Your score is not an official percentile, pass mark or prediction of an employer’s decision.
How does confidence help my practice?
You can optionally record your confidence before seeing an answer. The review highlights incorrect answers you marked with high confidence, so you can examine the reasoning rule you may have misunderstood. Confidence does not change your score.
