No , they tell you on the last page that you won't receive one as the last page is the notification

Thanks, the page refreshed before I could read it and asked me for the passcode so I wasn’t sure ðŸ˜Š

Did you lose internet connection ? There was instructions on the first page on what to do if that happened as it should not of refreshed with out you selecting it . Have you tried going back in to do it again to see if it completed or takes up where you left off ?

Go ahead and do it , they give you an hour but it only takes 20/25 mins or so to do, I was dreading it but it's actually very straightforward good luck

Thanks so much. Got the courage and did it. Was actually ok. Delighted now.

Hi
Did you managed to get the information booklet ? And did you complete Stage 1 yet? How was it?

I got the information booklet and completed Stage 1! How about you? Never had to complete a questionnaire assessment like that before so no idea how I scored. I was probably overthinking trying to figure out the correct answer...hopefully the best possible answer.

I had finished the assessment and submitted it but left it for a few mins and when I went back into the tab it seemed to have refreshed so I didn’t get a chance to read the endscreen, fingers crossed it went through okay

About 8 months and I was placed no1 in both of my (non Dublin) regions

That was an excellent result Cruncymomma, any tips on how to improve scores on the timed online verbal reasoning and numerical tests.... I always seem to get confused and end up watching the timer instead of concentrating on the questions...lol

I don't have much advice but I think the most important thing for me was making sure I did it at home, alone in the total quiet. I did the EO ones where there was a few distractions and I scored notably worse than stage one and two of CO and stage two of EO. It also helps me to work out exactly how much time I hsve per question so I don't get bogged down trying to solve one that may be harder, I just guess and move on.

CopperLady · 18-07-2018 3:29pm

Does anyone know what type of testing process is involved if called to the next stage? Is it an e-cut style psychometric test or a different kind?

Assuming its the same as the Dublin campaign, then its a supervised aptitude test round that consists of verbal and a numerical interpretation exercises.

Thank you for that.....yes the time is the problem, just 2 minutes per question is not enough. Hopefully not too many applied this time, haven't heard any numbers as of yet.

So the both of you are currently working as CO's in the civil service??

Is this the only way to get a transfer in the civil service, by reapplying to the current campaign?

No I don't work for public sector...

busymammy · 19-07-2018 10:13pm

Does anyone know if public sector jobs are education friendly i.e cover college fees while part time studying? Heard about that but never came accross anyone mentioning

tringle · 20-07-2018 6:49am

Has anyone any recommendations for sites for practice aptitude tests similar to what we will be doing. Anything I have found is looking for a fee. Timimg is my worst bit and I need to practice. Thanks.

Yes they are. You pay the college fee up front for the year and when you pass your year end exams, they will reimburse you the fee.
