Watson Glaser Questions
Open each answer, read the explanation, then continue into the full practice flow.
Q1The firm hired more trainees this year than last year.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: True
A 40% increase in intake directly means more trainees were hired. 'True' is fully supported by the passage.
Q2The firm opened a new office outside London this year.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Insufficient Data
The passage mentions expansion into new practice areas, not geographic expansion. There is no information about new offices.
Q3Fee earners worked harder this year than in previous years.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Insufficient Data
Higher billable hours suggest more work was billed, but this could reflect improved tracking or rate changes rather than harder work. Insufficient data.
Q4The firm's total revenue increased this year.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Probably True
More fee earners and higher billable hours per fee earner both point toward higher revenue, making this probably true, though billing rates and write-offs are unknown.
Q5Environmental law was not a practice area at the firm last year.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Insufficient Data
'Expansion into environmental law' could mean a new area or a growing existing one. We cannot conclude it did not exist previously.
Q6This judge sentences defendants to custody more frequently than the national average.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: True
62% versus a national average of 55% directly confirms this is true.
Q7The court handled fewer cases per judge last year than the year before.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Insufficient Data
The passage states the caseload rose by 18% but gives no information about the number of judges, so we cannot determine cases per judge.
Q8Defendants convicted at this court received shorter sentences on average last year than previously.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: True
The passage explicitly states average sentence length decreased by 3 months across all offence categories.
Q9The judge who sentences most harshly also handles the highest volume of cases.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Insufficient Data
The passage describes one judge's sentencing rate and the court's overall caseload; there is no comparison with other judges' caseloads.
Q10The national average custodial sentencing rate is below 60%.
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: True
The national average is stated as 55%, which is below 60%. This is directly true.
