I'm the same, I think I've re-written the competency questions at least five times. Good luck though :smile:

Hey guys just wondering where you all have applied to (location). and apparently more than 1000 or 2000 people applied for last years intake, and with the number of places available increased, more people might have applied this year.
Good luck to everyone!

I've applied to London for either Finance or Admin. I'm guessing all the test invitations will come tomorrow.

I applied for the North East Business Admin, I'm guessing this will most likely be the Department for Work & Pensions in Newcastle. But good luck to everyone though!

Hey for the numerical test, will I need to have a calculator on hand? Are the questions worded or just numbers?And how difficult would you rate them both? Sorry about all the questions.

Yes you will. 16 questions, two sets of data, all questions are multiple choice. The questions are based on interpreting and calculating from a real world example of data.

Hey just to confirm, this is just two sets of data to look at? so 8 questions on each?

Hey, has anyone received the situational judgement test invites? I was just looking up the timescale and they're supposed to be sent out by 5/3/14 so two days time. I'm just wondering because the verbal/numerical invites were sent out pretty much immediately after the deadline so if they're following the same pattern then most likely if we haven't have heard back already, we probably haven't advanced any further?
