Civil service fast stream 2014/2015

Bad news to those who haven't heard - they just told me that the sift has happened and I won't hear until the 13th of April

How do you know this our of curiosity? 13th April seems a pretty specific date and earlier than most people seem to be saying that this will end. Don't want to get my hopes up!

I was immediately unsuccessful for DS after January too but still amber banded for CD - I must be seriously borderline! Ahhh panicking now, can't believe I have to wait until April

Hello, I applied for the Government Communication Fast Stream and had my AC back in February,
I still have not heard back.
I was just wondering if anyone else applied for this stream and are in the same position as me or have heard back - I've had a look back through this message board and nobody seems to be talking about this stream haha so was just looking for some information really.
Am i likely to hear back on the 13th April too?

Thank you

For those wondering about passing FSAC for the specific streams but still "awaiting results" for central departments - it says here in the "view results" section of FSAC

"Following your success at FSAC, your application is now being considered for your preferred option and you will be invited to the appropriate Final Selection Boards (FSB) or Final Selection process. If you are unsuccessful for your preferred option, you will still be considered for your other options. We would remind you that you are guaranteed a place in a Central Department, unless you deselected this option during the Option Selection process."

So what are you saying? I'm a little confused. I don't think there is anyone that has passed FSAC whose awaiting results apart from the DaT guys who were wondering whether they get a place at CD even if they haven't selected it (I think) was this message aimed at those people?

The majority of us still A/B are just sitting on awaiting results for CD and have not found out anything to suggest a pass, if you get what I mean?

Has anyone found out their score yet? I attended FSAC on 5th Feb (successful) and I'm still waiting.

Hi! I also attended on 5th Feb and got my FSAC report through yesterday afternoon.

Hey, which stream did you apply for? and if you don't mind sharing, what score did you get?

I'm applying for HR and attended the FSAC yesterday (the last one for round 1). I felt the Interview, Leadership and Group exercises went ok (but not amazing) however I had the Policy exercise last and was so tired that I couldn't think straight. In the end I only completed 2 pages for the whole exercise and it wasn't very well structured/didn't include many supporting statistics.

I'm really disappointed as I think that this could have been one of my strongest if I had it earlier in the day and now I don't feel like I have a chance of getting in.

Did anyone else come away feeling like this? If so were you ultimately successful/unsuccessful?

Any thoughts would be really appreciated

I'm on the DaT stream. I wasn't amber banded, and got a score of 16.17.

I felt exactly the same...by the end of the day I was so tired and it was really hard to write a coherent and well structured paper that included enough facts, so I assumed I wouldn't pass. But I found out on Monday that I was successful I applied for DaT, so I still need to pass the FSB...not over quite yet!
