anyone know the average score on the test? is a combination of your score and your experience that gives you your OFM

I got 57 in Kilkenny, if I got called to round two and then to an interview, does anyone know the time line for this from previous years, if I was successful when would it be likely I would start start? Roughly based from previous years?

The population profile of the counties you chose has a lot to do it. So if your counties include, for instance; Dublin, Cork, Galway or Kildare and your OOM is above the 500 mark; you should be confident about your prospects. Also consider that there are many who apply and have a higher OOM than yours who will find better short term wage prospects in the private sector and opt out of future stages. So, if your in it for the long term expect your OOM to go up and up.

If you are above the 500 mark in Limerick would you have a decent chance?

Placed 8 for Mayo and 18 for Sligo, hopefully wont be to long to get called for stage 2 ðŸ˜€

Fantastic result. Well done!

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the max score on the online questionnaire is? It says the qualifying score is 300.
Not asking anyone's specific score obviously but mine was in the 400's and I'm wondering what it goes up to.

Mine was 700, and placed 8 and 18 so it must go higher, for people to place no 1

Not sure what the max score was but my result was just under double the qualifying score and I got 116 and 184 in my 1st and 2nd choices

I scored in mid 600's and got in 80s for Galway and 70s for mayo

Iwouldinmesack · 31-07-2018 4:43pm

Seems to me to be the most random way of scoring and ranking people tbh. Id love to know what the correct answers were that they were looking for and to compare them to the ones i gave.

DsJewel · 31-07-2018 4:47pm

Sounds like the max is around the 700's mark so. Thanks guys

Any tips on how one scores 700? I only managed 471 in a test "with no right or wrong answers", for the first part do you just say you are brilliant at everything?

dublingirlx · 31-07-2018 5:00pm

I scored high 500's and was placed in oom 113 for my location. Not sure if I’ll ever hear anything but really hard to call it.

Hi, well done, just wondering what was your overall score?

Sillyquestions · 31-07-2018 5:26pm

I placed low 400's for Wexford but low 200's for Wicklow. Any ideas why? Would most people from Wicklow just have gone for the Dublin competition?

I scored 700 overall

I emailed them after the results issued and this is the response I received for stage 2

There are 3 stages to CO 2018 competition. Stage 2 is a supervised test that measures verbal and numerical responses. When you are called up to stage 2, there will be familiarization material sent out to help you understand the test

No, there's loads of info in the 2016 thread if you want to trawl through it

taraxxxxx · 31-07-2018 7:23pm
