No thread yet on this, just got the below email.

“Online assessments are expected to go live at 12:00 noon on Wednesday, 04 March 2026. You must complete the assessments before 12:00 noon on Monday, 9 March 2026.

For applicants who progress to the final interview stage, it is anticipated that these will take place during April 2026.”

Didn’t expect to hear back so soon. I’ll have to get practicing.

Just received the assessment invite email. Surprisingly, there doesn't appear to be any numerical reasoning assessment? Only a 6 minute timed Verbal Reasoning assessment and 30 minute Situational Judgement assessment, is this the norm for Revenue? I would've thought a numerical assessment would be a given!

I'm surprised by that as well, was practicing the AO numerical test on public jobs over the weekend and was dreading it. Delighted they decided against it lol

has anyone sat the AO assessment tests yet?

agoodusername · 05-03-2026 04:11PM

I did, the verbal reasoning was a rollercoaster. It said at the start that most people won't have enough time to answer all questions, that was an understatement.

None of it was too complicated, there were so few questions, the margins will be small regarding who gets called.

I've done AO and AP stuff before and nothing has ever been this short, if I was supposed to do a room scan, I missed it.

So results should arrive at the very end of the month, good luck

I have no idea what to make of that assessment. I think I got to question 11? Idk. I feel I answered everything correctly but flicking through the different sheets took a lot of time.

I was very nervous that the situational questions were AI when I started but it's actually an interesting way of presenting what is a pretty dumb assessment system.

Shocked there's no numerical test which is almost always my strongest score

florie · 05-03-2026 06:39PM

@agoodusername thanks for that, it’s my first time to attempt these assessments. Best of luck 👍

florie · 05-03-2026 06:47PM

@GippyGup thanks for sharing … it’s my first time to do the tests, so I didn’t realise the verbal reasoning format had 6 tabs … I was practicing on different format …. Best of luck 👍

Are we supposed to get an email confirming that we have completed the tests? I finished mine, it said assessments completed and was then given the option to logout, so that's what I did. No confirmation afterwards though. I tried to log back in again but it was trying to take my photo again when doing so, and I didn't want to screw things up by going further. Did everyone have the same experience?

I read somewhere that there is no confirmation email. You just close it.

Can't tell if I've done well or not. Thankfully it looks like it's a much quicker process than PAS.

Cool. Thanks for that.

Same. I only got through half of the first questions. The second assessment was better, but the whole thing feels outdated and a bit silly. Are we ever going to be in such a pressurised situation working for the civil service? It's not the bomb squad!

GippyGup · 07-03-2026 12:52PM

The funny thing is if you were hypothetically put into the same pressure in one of their situational questions you'd be docked for not flagging it with a manager

McGrealio · 07-03-2026 04:10PM

Well that verbal reasoning section FLEW. I don't even know how many questions I was able to answer in the 6 minutes but not enough I feel. Pretty disappointed.

Felt the same. Don't think I answered nearly enough. Oh well.

JJ2026 · 09-03-2026 01:26AM

Did it earlier today.

I managed 16/18 with some quick guesses along the way.

CGF2026 · 19-03-2026 04:56PM

Has anyone been invited to re-sit the test due to technical error?

Not me. That's awful

thankfully it turned out to only be the chat assess part!

JJ2026 · 26-03-2026 06:29PM

Anybody receive any results yet?

Coming up to three weeks on Monday.

Nope, haven't heard a thing yet. They should be getting back to us soon though, they're planning on having the interviews in April.

HEO Tax Specialist Interviews are starting the 7th April so you’d imagine they’ll do at least two weeks of those.

Out now. Somehow I passed, very surprised.

sirona2025 · 01-04-2026 04:06PM

Just received mine there, passed but only got low 200's so nearly no hope of getting a shout I'd imagine, pretty disappointing

JJ2026 · 01-04-2026 04:08PM

In the 50s for Limerick but won’t be called for the initial batch of interviews.

DogsAreUs · 01-04-2026 04:12PM

Do we have any idea how many people they usually take to interview? My email says I'm not in the first batch but I may be invited at a later stages. I'm in the low 100s so that feels unlikely

CGF2026 · 01-04-2026 04:20PM

I’m in the 70s for Limerick and not included in initial batch of candidates. Hopefully they’ll get to my stage at some point

McGrealio · 01-04-2026 04:22PM

sirona2025 · 01-04-2026 04:25PM

There's no info on numbers yet sadly. I had applied for another Open Competition a while back for ICT trainees, and granted it's not very similar to this one, but they didn't recruit above 70 people for it as far as I'm aware.

Could be totally different for this competition, I suppose we have to just wait and see

125 for me, no idea if I'll be hearing back at all 😭
