2024 Assistant Principal in Civil Service

I know, I feel the same. I hope they change it next time because this crowd is crazy, especially with the numerical test. If only we could see the whole test at once instead of having to scroll from one side to the other… 🫣

Is it 1,2,3,4 as opposed to best and worst?

I also found that the more practice I did the more I became afraid to make even the most minor inference so my scores didn't improve 😆

That order seems counter intuitive to the instructions down the left hand side. Must be loads of others who made that mistake. Just goes to show how these things are designed- must view the full screen unfortunately.

yes that made the most sense to me too. I did it in a large screen thank god because my practice was a small screen and so much harder to navigate!! I’m second guessing myself because I looked at me times earlier and for SJT I did it in less than 30mins 😭

Think I was panicking about the time!

I found the numerical very challenging and i'm normally quite strong on that test. hoping to have scrapped the pass mark anyway. I also found that some of scenarios in the situational judgement would never happen. it's done now and its all down to the waiting game. best of luck everyone.

Echoing everyone talking abut the maths. F*ck me that was the hardest I've ever done, and normally I do well at these. I'm not even sure that there wasn't a mistake in one of the questions I did, just couldn't get the answer. Oh well. Back to languishing where I am at the moment for another competition cycle….

I can’t remember but it took about 25 minutes.

won’t get the role so just flew through it. Managed to get the lot done in 25mins somehow.

Felt the verbal and SJT was not too bad. Thought AO was tougher.

Maths was tough and I’ll be lucky to pass that (did not use much rough work).

Will be surprised if I pass.

Good luck everyone!

Yes will be enough

Hi, can you tell me had you your laptop plugged in and using a 2nd screen which was larger. I've completed proctor exams before where you can only have 1 screen on so just wanted to check. Hoping to do exam tonight

did you do all three tests inside 25 minutes?

HI everyone

I have just finished this. It took me 25 minutes to do the numerical. I take it there will be a heavy penalty for that and I found them difficult. The verbal I thought were ok and the sjt not too bad.

I've just finished, really struggled with the maths which has been my strong one up until now. Not holding my breath tbh

Finished all three tests this morning.

• Numerical: This would absolutely be my strength. Thought it was relatively straight forward. Unsure where people thought there was a mistake. I could generate their answers.
• Verbal: I've got in my own head on these. Don't think I did well but impossible to tell. It was fine.
• SJT: No idea. Found it hard to "rate" things but sure I'll see.
