HM Treasury Graduate Scheme (2018/9)

I received an email saying I had passed the online tests and was now moving to have my application reviewed. Then a while later I received an email saying I had been unsuccessful at review. So there is another step between online tests and the AC. I found that out the hard way sadly!!

Oh right , I would've assumed the reviews would be done before the online tests! When did you hear back from them after their review (if you remember)?

Yea, was a bit of a nasty shocker. Hmm...I can't remember, maximum a couple weeks though? I have a few grad schemes I'm in the process of applying/going through at the minute since last year I was way too selective.

Anyone applying for grad schemes reading this, cast your net far and wide. Often it's a numbers game.

I've been going on the numerical test for around 40 mins now... is there something wrong?!

Hey guys, I'm preparing to sit my online tests. I know they aren't timed and you can save the application as you go (so I'm assuming you can dip and out). But just wondering if you can go forwards and backwards through the questions? Once you've submitted an answer is that it and you can't go back?

From what I remember (prepping to take them again this year) is that you can't go back because the next question is determined on whether you got the last right or wrong and adjusts the difficulty to find your level of competence if that makes sense?

Just finished the tests but not really sure how they went as they didn't seem to last too long...

I'm pretty sure that's normal. They tell you to set aside 20 mins for the verbal and an hour for the numeric. You can take less time but that's a rough guideline for what they expect. Now it's just a waiting game.

This might be a really dim question but my deadline is Tuesday (tomorrow) but there's no mention of a time. Should I assume that means midnight tonight or Tuesday at the time of receiving the email with the link? Or midnight tomorrow night? To be safe I realise I should do it this evening but I'm pretty busy and would like to avoid that if possible. If anyone can shed any light on this it would be very much appreciated.

It will say in the portal. Mine were both the end of the day (23:59:59) 7 days after email. And no, my email wasn't received at 23:59:59! So likely to be the very end of the day 7 days after. But check

Oh dear, just looked at this thread after I completed my tests and took my sweet time on the numerical reasoning one. Not sure why it didn't occur to me that although I wouldn't be timed, I would still be assessed on the time taken...

How long did you guys take to complete the tests? My numerical reasoning was 28 minutes then verbal reasoning was 12. If that gives an indicator of my struggle with numbers haha!
