HMRC Tax Professional Programme 2013-2014

Congrats to everyone hearing now! Don't worry purple-girl I'm still waiting too! Good luck!

I applied last year and I'm sure I recall it being different. There was an analytical reasoning but at the beginning before the first numerical reasoning? I'm sure that wasn't there last year! But who knows, a year is a long time!

Just doing practice logical and analytical tests ... My gosh ... They're HARD!

Through to stage 2 but I'm still not the least bit excited. Cant take another grad scheme disappointment. Seems a first class degree in Accounting & Finances means nothing its all down to these tests. Which I absolutely hate and the time frame for a reply is so long too. ANXIETY!!! We are having to wait for Kenexa to email us with these test too. What a long process. But hey.. what is to be will be - waiting in a virtue. I waited two months for a stage 2 response so I can wait another 7 weeks for an assessment day reply and even a further 8 months to start this job if successful. xxx

Woo wooo passedddd.

Hey Prettygurllll you got any tips concerning those tests?

Hi...
I don't understand why tdp have let some know so early and then others know so late ...

I do not see the logic ...

I'm dreading stage 2 tests

I'm 83% sure I've not passed and this extra long wait isn't really convincing me that I'm wrong. I just hope I hear back by the end of the day, but the fact I'm one of the last to hear back isn't a good sign.

Woooh!
well done and I'm practising logical but can't seem to find much quality tests on analytical ?? Any tips people ...

Don't worry. I'm 84%, and I passed. And I believe that percentile is only based on the initial SJT, not include verbal and numeral.

The analytical test is identical to the numerical test in stage 1 - I found it easier as there was more time.

Don't get thrown off because the name of the test is different, I can assure you it's just another numerical test.

You'll see how easy it is after you've answered a few questions !!!

I agree with Niels in i found it easier because of the more time available. did you start up at hmrc from the last years recruitment on tpdp?

Dear all,

I have been invited to stage two of the recruitment process for HMRC.

Can some one please answer the following questions for me:

1 - What does the initial sift feedback score represent? i.e which test/tests?

2 - What will the Analytical Skills Test involve? I've read that these can be extremely intense, with multiple boxes of information to comprehend and awkwardly written sentences to make it even more confusing.

Thanks in advance.
