Accuracy of the Clifford Chance Watson Glaser Practice Test?

[aspirationalfashionlawyer]

Hi all,

Just did my WG practice test on the CC website and have gotten an overall mark of 80%. I am just wondering if the CC practice test is easier than the usual WG test across all firms that require WG? I have done some practice tests on websites like GraduatesFirst and AllAboutLaw where the questions seem a bit different in terms of the styles and were, in my opinion, more difficult as well.

This sounds a lot like self-doubt but I was thinking surely CC would put out an accurate WG practice test that matches the usual WG? But my high mark is telling me that it might have been easier than it is supposed to be :/

Could anyone please enlighten me on - (1) whether CC's WG practice test is an accurate measure? (2) If not, what are some websites that provide a standard WG practice test? Many thanks!!!

Hi @aspirationalfashionlawyer

Scoring 80% on the practice test is a fantastic start, so you're definitely in a strong position going into the actual WG test! It's tricky to say for sure if the CC practice test perfectly mirrors the real thing, as Clifford Chance, like many firms, only lets you know whether you've passed without sharing your exact score or percentile. Many firms do this in order to keep their benchmarks confidential, which means it’s hard to directly compare how their practice tests stack up to the actual test.

I’d recommend keeping up your practice on different sites just to stay sharp. Each practice source may feel a bit different, but maintaining that variety is good preparation. With your current score, though, I think you're likely in a strong position to meet CC's benchmark. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

Hi @aspirationalfashionlawyer ,

Congratulations on doing so well, and best of luck with the rest of the application process. I have been sent the link to take a WG test for Clifford Chance and just wanted to ask how to best prepare for it.
