NHS Graduate Scheme 2012

Hey!

Does anyone know when the 2012 graduate scheme will open? I am interested in applying for the HR scheme. Does anyone know what the chances are of getting in from application stage to final selection? Keeping fingers and toes crossed I make it in!

I imagine they'll put the application form up late sept/oct type time then you have to complete it by jan if it's the same as previous years. Hopefully soon as I just want to get mine sorted!

looks like early October they will put it up. Join the facebook group as they are putting information up all the time on there.

Lol. Passed their self selection test and then got rejected because I'm on fieldtrip at the same time as their assessment centre dates. Why do they put them all together?

Stange. Tbh I think they will do pretty much anything to reduce the amount of applicants they get.

i accidentally closed the window even before starting the practice tests and emailed the technical team who replied within 4 hours and reset the online tests for me.

i'm applying for the general management scheme.

I think he meant finished not passed. It is impossible to know results straight away. :confused:

Could anyone who has taken the assesment tests tell me how they compare to the practice ones they suggest you take (http://www.psl.com/practice/). I found those ones to be a lot easier than many of the other ones I have done, and I am hoping that it isn't one of those situations where the actual NHS ones are a lot harder!

I really want to get the NHS General Management and I am taking the tests this afternoon so I am just trying to be as prepared as possible. I've already been rejected from TeachFirst :/

Hey,
I have taken a range of these tests in other applications and typically find myself to be successful, however I did struggle with the numerical reasoning for the NHS app. It is your typical GCSE kind of standard, but the time restraints seem to be particularly tough as a number of questions require multiple calculations. If you practise I'm sure you'll nail it, but a bit of a warm up would be advised!
