Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship [2018]

You have to rank all the schemes in order of preference, and this is the same for location, though you don't have to select all of them. I've just finished the online parts of it, we get the results back within 8 weeks.

How you find them? Had to rush the last few questions of the maths lol

Just done the online tests. Completed the verbal ones, timed out on numeracy and am uncertain about the situational judgement. What a start!

I think the idea is that you might time out but you’ve answered the questions that you have done correctly and not gone through clicking any answer just to answer them all if that makes sense.. as they always say quality over quantity!

I also applied last year and got average in everything.. I’ve applied for the same schemes this year and hoping for a better result on the online tests which I’ve just completed.

I will say though I don’t think anything can prepare you for situational judgement.. it’s so difficult as what I would deem as the most effective response someone else might not think is effective at all.. very hard when you’re going through them trying to think 😪😪

I can’t see that being a problem for a couple.. who knows you may have ticked the right ones 🤷🏻*♀️😃

I just mean if you do that on the whole test rather than read the questions and work out the correct answer.. I’m sure some people would just guess for the whole thing because they want to beat the clock haha 🤔😃

I’ve already submitted my application and done the tests! Very intense and would make sure you have plenty of time to complete it all, I’ve applied for policy as my number one choice and project delivery as my second. So nervous but they said I should get a reply within 8 weeks !

Anybody else apply for multiple schemes in multiple locations? I applied for 4 of the schemes in about 9 places; I was wondering if anybody else from this year’s applicants or last year’s has any idea on how common that is? What did all you guys apply for?
