Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme 2016

I think the reason they said 4-6 weeks to find out the results is that they probably want as many people as possible to do the online tests, and then decide who to invite to the assessment centre's.

After completing the online tests, it says you have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to find out about the results!!! That is a bit ridiculous.

we have 2 more online tests to go
6 minutes is a ridiculous time, especially for the maths one. I worked out that you have to average 10 seconds per question on the English ones and 15 seconds for the Maths ones. I did more than half on both but didn't rush into answering incorrectly, so I'm afraid that I've ruined my chances already, even if I feel comfortable with how I did on the un-timed sections :frown:
I've not done them yet (how are they anyway? If the sample questions are anything like the ones last year it won't be lots of percentage based ones and I'm sure it said not to use a calculator and that you may possibly be retested at the assessment centre, can't see any of that this year thankfully) but re the 6 mins ones, I'm going to go for correct answers rather than just rushing through them and clicking random answers near the end, 6 mins is a very small amount of time though and it's got me slightly nervous about them already!

Thanks for the insight, Dazman. Got the invite for the tests around 16:00.

Just completed the tests, would recommend trying to time the appropriate amount for each section, I.e give yourself 10 seconds for each verbal and 15 for each mathematical. I found the earlier questions were a great way to build up a little bit of extra time which was much needed towards the end. Best of luck with it chaps, hopefully we won't have to wait long for the results.
Hey everyone, I submitted my online tests last night. The numerical and verbal reasoning proved challenging to complete in 6 minutes, maybe it's because I'm slow, but I felt I was accurate in answering the majority of them. The Competancy questionnaire seemed to me like they were purposefully trying to see continuity in your answers, as they just seemed to be reworded. Anyway good luck everybody, hopefully many of you will be invited to the Assessment Centre, for me personally I think this is where my strengths will show.

I only had the verbal and maths tests sent to me and not the others. Were they sent at the same time?
