Anyone thinking of applying for the DHSC Policy Fast track scheme?

Put it as my first choice :smile:
Also applied for DHSC Policy as first choice, as well as Policy. Completed all the tests and have fingers crossed for January now!
Still haven't had my tests unlock. I've sent them all my paperwork for reasonable adjustments, so hoping they process it for next week

The deadline isnt till Dec, you should have plenty of time 😊 I would actually prefer to get on the DHSC scheme than the standsrd fast stream, but I guess beggars cannot be choosers hah. Hope you here back soon and good luck!
I am just wondering if anyone has completed the numerical reasoning stage of the application, and how difficult it is? Is it similar to the practice CAPP test linked on the website?

Thanks for any help!

Maths is not my strong point and I was dreading it but found it quite easy. Its GCSE level and probably at the lower end, so grade C. I quickly ran through the GCSE BBC Bitesize fractions and percentages section to refresh my memory and that helped. Good luck 😊

CAPP tests can be quite easy. If it seems easy so the first question is basic addition etc be very careful with the answer you click.

They do it on purpose. Say your answer is 10300 they might have 103000, 10300, 1030 etc and if you're rushing you're likely to pick the wrong one.
Met the minimum for maths and English :biggrin:
Can someone give me the link to the practice tests on the NHS website-I cannot seem to find them.

http://www.nhsgraduates.co.uk/applications/how-to-apply-application-process/

2) Links to each specific practice test, except personality profiler:

A - Situational Judgement - http://practice.cappassessments.com/Sst/Sst.html
B - Verbal Reasoning - http://practice.cappassessments.com/Vrt/VrtPage.html
C - Numerical Reasoning - http://practice.cappassessments.com/Nrt/NrtPage.html

That's perfect-thank you!
So as I prepare to do my last sets of test, it turns out that the timer began from 59:22 minutes ...

Obviously, something is a bit wrong here, so I gave them a ring and hopefully it'll be sorted as soon as really.

Not in that much of a rush, just glad I didn't leave this closer to the deadline!

So did you stop and called them or took the test anyway and call them about it afterwards? What did they tell you?

Stopped and called them in the end :smile:
If we get put on hold after completing all the assessments, does that mean that we’ve met the minimum pass mark for each of the tests? Or is it the case that everyone is put on hold regardless of initial results?

I believe if someone doesn't achieve the minimum marks on any given test they won't be able to continue with the application. At least this is what it looks like by reading the explanation before starting the tests and it also appears at the completion of each test
What dates were the video interviews and application deadline? thanks :smile:

What dates were the video interviews and application deadline? thanks :smile:

4th December for the application deadline, 7th January will be the date when they let us know who is through to VI
Does anyone know if you can instantly fail after a test or do you find out if you passed/failed the tests after completing them all? I just finished the verbal reasoning test and it’s instantly opened up the critical reasoning test, so does this mean I’ve passed it? It just seems a bit quick. Thanks!
