I'm in new house fixing tv brackets to walls and trying to fix my washing machine. I miss having a man around the house to do this, although I suppose I'd have never learnt these vital skills otherwise!

I can't stop checking though. I'm assuming it's going to be PM they release them that usually seems to be the case.


Anything for you yet? Can't believe ours still isn't out!!! Literally the last to find out, after being first to sit fsac :frown:

Unsuccessful for CD with 16.37. Interesting report though, and definitely going to apply next year. :smile:

Congrats! I told you that you were close and you had a chance! I have a very early FSB on the 17th. When's yours?


I haven't received the invitation yet. Just thought I'd check today whilst I was holding on a call ironically enough to try to sort out transfering one of the TLD's that I've got to a more cost effective registrar, fully expecting it to be another unsuccessful result...

Ok, turns out I have passed the FSAC for TiB... Now to figure out how on earth I can get through the FSB, best speak to my brother...



YAY! iM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Ha! 17.73. So close, and yet...! Congrats for the FSB - and good luck!


17.77 SO CLOSE. ggr!
So after finding out my score (16.68) via being unsuccessful for EFS I was sure I wouldn't get CD. Just logged in and I passed...

think this calls for a WOOP!

Cheers.

I'm going to be playing with my toy soldiers tonight, I think I may be able to have a couple of beers whilst doing so. Of course it also solidifies my plans to go out in Camden on Friday, even if none of my mates will bloody well come with me :frown: Lightweights... :wink:

No real surprise, after being unsuccessful in the HOP option I've just found out that I was unsuccessful for my CD option with a score of 16.35. So we know that the score is between 16.37 and 16.68 which someone else in the thread got.

Congratulations to all that have passed, commiserations to those who have been also been close to the pass mark.
Unsuccessful for hr. I can't see my report though?!

Oh, my goodness me. I've just had (another!) little cry at the fact it transpires now that I was only about 0.4 marks off the pass mark, but you're even closer! Small part of my brain is tempted to call, ring, write, email, go down to London in person and just SEE if there's any chance I don't have to go through the WHOLE DAMN PROCESS again next year when I'm about 99% convinced that my plans for the year will mean I can easily pick up by 0.4 of a mark. The whole thing is so regimented, though, I doubt there's any room for anything like that.

People who weren't successful and are planning on trying again, what are you going to do with the year's gap? Congratulations to everyone who was successful, though!!

Aw sorry :frown: Was reading the previous posts before, does that mean your moving abroad now? I'm still awaiting, I have no idea how they are releasing these results!

I remember you from a few years ago. I hope you get through the FSB. You must be over the moon right now. I remember when the FSB invite came in. I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Heck, it's been maybe a month now, and I still can't stop thinking about it.

Do you know anyone who's done the FSB before? I've tried to reach out to one or two people but it appears many of the old-timers working in the Fast Stream are no longer active on TSR, such as TiBFSer.

How can one really prepare for the FSB?

If nothing comes up by the end of the summer then it looks like I will be yeah. Might reapply next year but i'm not sure.

Unsuccessful with 16.56 - so the pass mark was somewhere between 16.56 and 16.68.

Arghh, frustrating! But congratulations to all who passed and best of luck to those with FSBs :smile:

Oh I expected it anyway so i'm not anywhere near as bothered as I was when I found out I was unsuccessful for HOP. It's frustrating to be close, but it appears this years CD pass score is much lower than the previous 2 years.

I've been offered a graduate job, so will probably accept that and then see how I get on with it before deciding whether to reapply next year. Must admit that the thought of that competency questionnaire and e-tray doesn't really fill me with hope.

Good luck then. You should definately apply next year as you must have been close to be in untiil the end. Do you know what your score was yet?
You can still work for the civil service in the mean time aswell;

Commiserations, that's really harsh to get so close. How are you finding the report, i'm finding that my stronger points are areas that I thought I was terrible in?

I'm already in DWP. Don't know my score. There doesn't seem to be a link for me to see it
