A Psychologist’s Guide to the Watson Glaser: Confidence, Pressure and Getting Support

Understanding the questions is one part of preparing for the Watson Glaser. Understanding what might affect your performance, and what support you can ask for, matters too.

Ever wondered why some candidates find psychometric assessments particularly challenging, or how factors such as test pressure and individual circumstances can affect performance?

Join us for a psychologist-led session exploring the science behind these assessments and practical ways to approach them with greater confidence.

Whether you're applying from a law or non-law background, studied in the UK or internationally, or find timed assessments challenging, we'll explore how different experiences and circumstances can influence your approach to the Watson Glaser.

We’ll also address the pressure that can come with testing, with practical guidance on managing anxiety and turning preparation into performance when it matters.

We'll also discuss reasonable adjustments, including how to approach recruiters about additional support, when to raise your needs and what questions to ask before completing an assessment.

While our first two sessions focus on understanding and tackling Watson Glaser questions, this final session explores the factors that can affect your performance and how to approach the assessment, so you can complete the test with confidence and make your preparation count.
