Tsp 2017

I believe ICAS is the new course where people have extended leave from the office to study in blocks. It's only being piloted this year.

The standard course roughly equates to 50% work and 50% study as it has been for years now. Although it has been shortened from four years to three.

It said that we would be able to see feedback after the deadline, has anyone managed to check their scores?

Is the next stage a analytical test, or is it the assessment centre?

Stage 2 is an analysis test and a civil service situational judgement test. Stage 3 is the assessment centre

From the Facebook page: "Due to the number of applicants, please note we do not provide feedback including test scores in respect of these stage 1 tests."

The verbal cut me off after the panda question which I know I got wrong. But almost certain all of the other 9/10 were right. Still cutting me off at a wrong answer really doesnt bode well for me.

Do you have more information about this? Who decides which option we do?

Can you explain further what the other course is like. So it's nothing like what it (non icas) is at the moment where you have study days and college days each week?

I'm afraid that really is the limit of my knowledge on this. there isn't even anything in the powerpoint presentation I received. I cannot even guarantee the names of the courses. The new course is basically uni like with little work for extended months. Personally I would not choose it.

I was told we can choose.

In the FAQ is says:

"Within your application centre in CS Jobs, you will be provided with feedback about how well you have done after the deadline for completing the tests. It will not be possible to see your answers to specific items."

So I guess if we get some feedback most of us will ascertain whether we've made the cut before they officially tell us.

I've a feeling any feedback given will come alongside invites to stage 2, so don't think we will get a heads up in that way. Could be wrong, just a hunch.

Who cares if you're gonna get paid £47k at the end of it. I'd be happy to walk naked through the streets being pelted with tomatoes if they were going to pay me that .

I am pretty sure we will not be asked to video interview (thankfully!). On the job description there is a section in regards to the selection process:

Candidates successful at stage 1 will be invited to take stage 2 tests which may consist of an Analysis test and a Civil Service Situational Judgement Test. This will determine selection for stage 3 which will be an assessment centre. These will take place between 6th February and 3rd March 2017. You may be re-tested on your verbal and numerical skills.

That kinda begs the question - if you knew/thought it was incorrect, why did you submit it? Or was it just that you didn't know which was the correct answer?

Hmm. I see what you mean. Hedging your bets. So you either got them all right bar the last one, or all wrong bar the last one.

Because i went against my better judgement after almost all were cannot say. Obviously at the time I wasnt 100% it was wrong...just after i thought about thr wording more and then realised. Besides i'm fairly certain thewe tests dont just end on a wrong answer?
