Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal VIP Practice Exam
Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal — The Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (W-GCTA), published by Pearson, is a widely-used psychometric assessment — not a certification exam — that evaluates critical thinking across five sub-tests: Inference, Recognition of Assumptions, Deduction, Interpretation, and Evaluation of Arguments; it is administered in full form (80 items, ~40 min) and short form (40 items, ~30 min), with scores reported as percentiles rather than a standardized pass/fail threshold. This VIP practice set mirrors the W-GCTA's five-section structure and difficulty with entirely original questions.
