Watson glaser test

Judge arguments, assumptions and conclusions.

Practise the five Watson–Glaser sections

Start with practice and focus on the sections you find difficult. Our sets use their own composition. Pearson lists 40 questions and 30–40 minutes for the version described; follow your invitation for your assessment.

Inferences

Judge how likely the statement is given the passage. Distinguish insufficient information from false.

Recognising assumptions

Identify what the statement takes for granted. A plausible extra thought is not necessarily an assumption.

Deduction

Accept the premises as true. The conclusion must necessarily follow; one valid counterexample is enough to reject it.

Interpretation

Decide whether the information warrants the conclusion. Do not add facts or make a stronger claim than the passage supports.

Evaluating arguments

Treat the argument as true and assess its relevance and importance to the exact question, regardless of your own opinion.
