Watson-Gleason Test for PE Interview

Hey all,

I interviewed with a LMM PE firm a month ago and they got back to me yesterday saying they wanted me to complete an test called the Watson-Gleason Test. I see on google it is a critical thinking test typically used in law firms for hiring purposes.

Does anyone have any experience with it and how I should prepare?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!
