Do you want to work at a large commercial law firm and have to take the Watson Glaser Test? Do you have trouble working through inference or critical reasoning questions during admissions or psychometric tests?
Your answer is: Yes!
So, what should you know?
Inference questions are one of the hardest types of questions when testing verbal reasoning or reading comprehension skills. If you are confused, you are definitely not alone!
But here's the secret.
The reason you are struggling is not that you cannot read carefully. It is because you do not know how to approach the question correctly. How you intuitively think about inferences skews you away from finding the correct answer.
The Watson Glaser Inference Questions Tiny Handbook will help you develop the right framework to analyse critical thinking questions. By understanding what the questions are testing you on, you will learn to confidently choose your answers and use your time more efficiently. Never again will you struggle with picking an answer when you know what section of the text the question targets.
Some elements this book covers:
- How to identify key words and skim text efficiently
- The nuances between Probably True/False and Insufficient Data answers
- The different ways to analyse common question types relating to conditional reasoning, quantity indicators, strong/weak language, and more.

The Watson Glaser Inference Questions Tiny Handbook focuses on the inference questions commonly found on the Watson Glaser Test. However, the skills you develop will also help with other verbal reasoning assessments (SHL, Cappfinity, GRE, GMAT, etc) and law-based entrance exams (LNAT, LSAT). This is because this book helps you understand the degrees of support for answer choices.
This book has information sourced from years of experience with legal assessment centres and verbal reasoning assessments. The tips and strategies have been curated after speaking with assessors and successful applicants to investment banks and commercial law firms. It is meant to be concise, clear, and a point of reference as you prepare for your legal journey.
