Watson Glaser Exam Questions & Answers 2026 (1–10)

Question 1

The firm hired more trainees this year than last year.

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

True. A 40% increase in intake directly means more trainees were hired. 'True' is fully supported by the passage.

Question 2

The firm opened a new office outside London this year.

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Insufficient Data. The passage mentions expansion into new practice areas, not geographic expansion. There is no information about new offices.

Question 3

Fee earners worked harder this year than in previous years.

TheoryPractice · Accepted 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.

Question 4

The firm's total revenue increased this year.

TheoryPractice · Accepted 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.

Question 5

Environmental law was not a practice area at the firm last year.

TheoryPractice · Accepted 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.

Question 6

This judge sentences defendants to custody more frequently than the national average.

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

True. 62% versus a national average of 55% directly confirms this is true.

Question 7

The court handled fewer cases per judge last year than the year before.

TheoryPractice · Accepted 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.

Question 8

Defendants convicted at this court received shorter sentences on average last year than previously.

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

True. The passage explicitly states average sentence length decreased by 3 months across all offence categories.

Question 9

The judge who sentences most harshly also handles the highest volume of cases.

TheoryPractice · Accepted 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.

Question 10

The national average custodial sentencing rate is below 60%.

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

True. The national average is stated as 55%, which is below 60%. This is directly true.
