haha!

I'm actually doing it tomorrow, honest! Slept in today, I'm usually at 100% in the early morning and then it all goes off track after then! Best of luck, though!

Paha, we have all been there :wink:

I did my tests a while ago. tbh, don't hold much hope but then... you never know :smile:

Still, there is hope yet!!

Let me know what you thought of the tests!

Just completed the tests- FINALLY! I second what everyone previously has said- I thought I had managed my time well in the logical reasoning but still found I had to guess last 3-4. But that is to be expected, part of the challenge. Good luck to everyone.. 16 days to wait!!

:smile:

Found the maths tests okay bar going brain dead for the last question. With 8 minutes left i still couldn't work it out. To long since I've done maths exams it seems. I second/third what you've all said about the logic/picture sequence test. First 15 relatively easy final 9 there was a bit of a jump in complexity. Best of luck to any who have been putting it off like me.

First test: Did 22 I'm 99% were correct, left the other 3 until the end and had to guess the rest.

Second Test: I am not rain man. Did 5 and guessed the rest, absolute mind f***.

Without giving too much away, was it the question which mentions something along the lines of 100 hours being shared between the 2 divisions ? If so, I was stumped for a couple of minutes on that ( I had 15 minutes remaining) before I got it.

Ill share my answer with you on Friday.

It appears that most found the analytical test ok- and so, the deciding test will be the LRT hopefully your guess work (and mine) pays off !!

Everyday i look at this and see people complaining about the logical reasoning test. Which makes me feel better as i completely messed my LRT up. (Sorry) Haha. I just hope to god that the LRT was intentionally difficult and not meant to be finished, if not im definately out.

The maths questions were so much easier than the numeracy part of the first test, as for the pictures bit I didn't know what to expect and the time limit was really restraining. I think if I could do it again with similar questions I'd do much better, you don't really know what to expect until you do it.

Has anyone received confirmations yet for the EO compliance Officer role? Or are we all still waiting?

Im still waiting mate, getting nearer and nearer the start date isnt it?

I love the comment earlier about the graduate 2nd test and I'm not rain main, made me feel so much better and couldnt stop laughing for a while :smile:

. So my advice now to anyone who can complete all those in the time permitted whilst getting them right, go and play black jack for a living :smile:

Nick-bham, time getting closer indeed. My best guess is that we should receive something by the end of next week. I can't see anything happening this week...

I just the two tests for HMRC TPDP, the first analytical reasoning test was okay, personally I should have done some more numeracy practice, as I finished the test in time, had about 5mins spare to check questions I was unsure about, but I still feel like I didn’t do well.

The logical reasoning test, the way that went, I wish I were rain man! I got to about q 13, saw I only had 1min left and just guessed the rest. Even the ones I did, I thought weren’t 100% correct.

Just a quick q, has anyone else got feedback from the previous tests. I got mines:

There were 4 tests.

HMRC Situational Test Score 88
Verbal Test 88
Work Style 90
Numerical Test 96

If possible, would like to compare with others in how they felt these tests went. I felt this analytical test wasn’t easy (not hard either); I didn’t fly through it, but my results for the Numerical Test was quite good.

Also, will the previous tests count towards moving to the next stage. I’m really worried I’ve messed this stage up! ****in LRT!!!

Finished the analytical tests. Numerical was weird. Logic was okay, guessed last few.

Just sat the online test. Was wondering, did anyone recieve a confirmation email. When I log into my account it still states that I have been invited to sit the assessment, thought it would have updated? Thanks

Just to let you know I just got a call from the HMRC asking if I could start the 28th January and all the checks were done :smile:

.

I suspect they are going round everyone now.
