Border Force National Campaign September 2023

How long does it take to hear back if you have past those ridiculous tests?
This is the second application were i have had to do them but heard back pretty quick!

I applied for a different job just to try the test but I failed!!!! Really couldn't get the hang of the expressions.

They keep results on file for six months….. if you go for another role within that time they’ll use those results!

It’s unfair really as it’s a completely different process to the civil service one. It should be the same it’s the same job

Don’t worry about it mate. I failed my written test the same week as my evidence file went to crown court for a very serious criminal offence, so my written work can’t be that bad 🤷🏻*♂️

I’d love to know what I failed on. I have asked for feedback, but no information is provided.

Haha that's bizarre! I've got two degrees and my previous job was a detective in the met so wrote reports all the time and then suddenly I failed this, what a slap in the face 😂😂 doubt they'd give us feedback, but I'd genuinely love to know what they were actually searching for because our writing skills are top notch!
