nope no date yet, I'm just hoping that they'll tell me well before the interview.

But the application guidance doc says we'll be tested on*Micro and Macroeconomics, in addition to the Civil Service Behaviour of Managing a Quality Service, through competency style questions.*

Just go over your a level and first year macro and micro topics as this is what the questions are on. Plus the task they set you to prepare for . They are very nice and friendly and will make you relaxed . Enjoy!

It was decent and quite short? The interviewers were all very nice and relaxed but I’m not sure what the outcome is
