me too. I wanna know what the correct answers would've been tho. all I remember is:
'all radicals are minority party members. no patriots are radical.'

statement: no patriot is a minority party member.

does that follow yes to no?
I found the answers in reddit after the test but idk if its accurate:

"18 - Follows as some are but not all 19 - Doesnt follow - all radicals are in minor parties but minor parties aren’t all radicals 20 - Doesn’t follow"

Hello @Jessica Booker hope you are well. Just wanted to ask you, is it common for applicants to have different questions for the WG test? I remember my WG questions and my deductions section looked nothing like the one that is being discussed above. Would love your inputs since it is kind of weird for me to think how the firm could arrive at a percentile if they had different questions for the applicants. Thanks.

as far as I am aware, all test centres have different questions/ test variations. If it was the same test questions for all, the questions could easily be shared amongst friend groups/ the internet

I get your point but then how do they calculate a percentile given that some questions on your test could have been tougher/easier than mine. Just curious.

theoretically, I think they should be the same in difficulty. WG questions are split into easy to difficult and I presume the same number of difficult/easy questions are being asked, but not the same questions. I found that in practice, some topics are just easier for me, regardless of how difficult the question is.

Tests are randomised. People can get some of the same questions, but they come from a randomised question bank which means not everyone would have the same set of questions, even if you do the same test for the same firm in the same recruitment cycle.

After being unsuccessful in securing a vacation scheme this summer I’m joining this thread as I’ve applied and am applying to a few direct TC’s for 2025.

Has anyone applied to Withers, Collyer Bristow, Farrer & Co, and Shoosmiths?

Also I applied to withers on Sunday and recieved an invite to the strengths based online assessment today. Does everyone who applies for their TC get through to this stage automatically?
