If anyone has any insight into taking a Watson glaser that would be much appreciated! And any recommendations as to which practice test service is best

Hi @Jessica Booker

I trust you are well.

I am currently trying to answer this question 'Please provide any additional information that you think is relevant.'
How would you approach this question? Should I write about my interest in commercial law, my skills and my achievements?
Thank you in advance.

If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply?

If you have been asked about any of these aspects elsewhere in the application, then you should not cover them here. It is to cover anything you think is relevant that has not been asked of you to present. This can be anything from mitigating circumstances, explaining academic grades if they are not typical qualifications, any period of time out of employment or education, clarity on anything that needs explaining that cannot fit into other questions/sections of the application form.

thank you, you should have hope!

I applied on the day of the deadline so 24 June I believe

 

[charlotte1704]

Was it a pfo or next stage invite?

next stage

 

[PSharon]

It won’t be an issue to do this. Many people do, it just isn’t necessary. Definitely no need to write to GR to apologise - there is nothing to apologise for.

That's a relief, thank you @Jessica Booker!

Do you mind if I ask when you completed the WG?

So I completed it on the 2nd July, I was invited to take it on the same day.

Thank you @Jessica Booker,

There is not a specific space to explain my overseas academic qualifications so this is a good opportunity to do so and also highlight my educational achievements.
