    Did test at 9.30am. Was waiting about 15 mins before the session was ended randomly. Logged in again, waited another 10 mins to be connected and finally got through.

    Test itself was grand but connectivity to the exam kept dropping repeatedly during it. Time paused each time so wasn't too bad, clearly a server issue as I could still communicate with supervisor even though I couldn't do any questions.

    Overall, handier than attending in Dublin for supervised tests but they likely need to upgrade their servers to handle high volume days.

    Best of luck to all anyways!

    Just came out of the 11.15 session. Had ' loading exam' on the screen for the 2 hours!! Hopefully they will schedule a re sit.

    just finished the 11.15 session, thought I dropped the connection at the last minute, nearly cried. can't get screen to close now. If it worked properly would be ideal but somehow I think it will effect any of us who had issues logging in. Anyways, best of luck everyone!

    Hi, any feedback today? It seems some people didn't get to complete the tests, surely we won't all have to do it again??

    I got a reply from testreach and they said they are in discussions with pas, I know there was a national committee union meeting today and it was high on the agenda.

    I emailed HR and listed all my issues, have just got a mail back saying "Thank you for logging your issue. A communication in regard to this competition and the problems encountered will issue shortly". I also just got a mail from testreach confirming receipt of my query from yesterday confirming it was being reviewed.

    The link just brings you to the usual ones on PAS website, nothing new.

    I noticed a lot of Open EO posts seem to be for AGS, should they not wait until the panel is ready from this comp?

    It would appear a few people had this problem.
    I wonder will they interview everyone who got through or just top 50 for eg

    interviewing everyone will be a waste of time. Panel is only active for 2 years and there are only a few positions in each Division.

    I think interview top 10 in each Division/County maybe. And maybe top 50 for Dublin. If they need more positions after that then can interview the next 10 etc.
