Civil Service Fast Stream 2016/2017

Quick question about the E-Tray - some of the practise test answers consider certain options to be 'ineffective' eg: Not responding to the email, rather than 'least effective,' as they don't solve the situation - this seemed rather clunky and confusing in the book I was practising, and I saw no mention of this before. Is this something you see in the actual test too, or is the least effective answer just the worst option?

Im still awaiting my reasonable udjustments to be put in place for my Etray test. I've now been waiting a month for this. Every week I call and they say that we'll be arranging this next week, but nothing. The application is really dragging out if I'm being honest.

I am also getting sick of waiting and jumping every time I get an email notification.

I am in an OK-paying job which I hate and am bored senseless of. When I started the FS application process I put applying for jobs on hold. The updates are so few and far between that I wonder if I've done the right thing. Of course now that it is practically Christmas jobs are thin on the ground and no one is really bothering with recruitment.

I know, I know, first world problems...

I'm really confused about the E-Tray test...I've tried searching about this online but still a bit confused. is the format 100% multiple choice or do you have to do any written work? Can someone help me with what to expect...I have never done one before apart from a practice one online which was multiple choice only.

Sorry I know this may seem lazy of me to be asking but I am in the middle of my dissertation and have already spent a while researching this to little avail.

Me too. Getting a bit aggravated.

Think I'm in a similar situation- applied under the guarenteed interview scheme and asked for 25% extra time as was automatically granted to GIS applicants last year, my online tests changed to 'congratulations you've passed' almost straight away on Friday and my etray hasn't unlocked- is that whats happened with both of you?

Really? What does this say for them releasing results mid-Nov?

No. I was successful and eTray unlocked with a deadline but they emailed me and said to let it expire as they hadn't made the adjustments.

Written application?

Yes you had to fill out some long form with all your work experience etc... I don't know if thats was for the summer scheme only

Guessing it wont be till next week we find out our e-tray results. Anyone heard today?

I am perplexed as to why it has taken so long to add 25% additional time onto the eTray for candidates with special requirements. I keep getting told that it will be put in place 'next week' and there have been about 5 'next weeks now. I will continue waiting and practicing nonetheless, but there must be something going on for the folks working on this.
