What Yes No Cannot Say Means in a Watson Glaser Practice Test

Yes means the statement is definitely true based on the information in the passage. The passage must clearly support the statement.

No means the statement is definitely false. The passage must contradict the statement or make it impossible.

Cannot Say means the passage does not provide enough information to decide. The statement may sound reasonable, but it is not proven or disproven by the facts given.

In a Watson Glaser Yes No Cannot Say practice test, you are not allowed to use outside knowledge or assumptions. The passage is the only source of truth.

A Simple Method to Answer Yes No Cannot Say Questions

High-scoring candidates follow a strict decision process for every question.

Step 1 Find direct evidence

Look for a sentence in the passage that clearly supports or contradicts the statement. If you cannot point to direct evidence, the answer is usually Cannot Say.

Step 2 Watch for new information

Statements often add details that are not mentioned in the passage, such as causes, time frames, or certainty. Added information usually means the correct answer is Cannot Say.

Step 3 Check contradiction

If the passage clearly implies the opposite of the statement, the correct answer is No.

Common Mistakes in Yes No Cannot Say Questions

The most common mistake is answering based on what is likely rather than what is proven. Likely does not equal Yes in a Watson Glaser practice test.

Another mistake is confusing correlation with cause. If two events occur together, that does not mean one caused the other unless the passage explicitly states it.

Candidates also struggle with absolute wording. Statements using words like all, always, or never are often incorrect unless the passage uses the same certainty.
