Wow! Just the thread I was looking for. I’ve noticed that the guidance webpage hasn’t linked to the application yet but you can find the posting on civil service jobs here: https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?SID=Y3NvdXJjZT1jc3FzZWFyY2gmb3duZXJ0eXBlPWZhaXImam9ibGlzdF92aWV3X3ZhYz0xNjY1ODYzJnBhZ2VjbGFzcz1Kb2JzJnVzZXJzZWFyY2hjb250ZXh0PTkzOTExNDQwJm93bmVyPTUwNzAwMDAmc2VhcmNoX3NsaWNlX2N1cnJlbnQ9MSZwYWdlYWN0aW9uPXZpZXd2YWNieWpvYmxpc3QmcmVxc2lnPTE1ODEwMjI1MTgtNDRlYmQ1ZWI4NTI2MDRjOTAxMzY3YThiMzk4ZTU4NGNlOTg3NjM4Zg==

Does anyone know what the cut-offs have been in previous years for numerical and verbal testing? Unsure if I can use my banked scores for this but might do if they're a lot above the cut-off.

Have anybody submitted the application and started the online test? I did verbal yesterday and am now invited to the numerical test. But I can't find the link for the test. Has anybody have the same issue?

How did it go? You should get the score for the verbal test under the feedback section.

Hi, I just completed the verbal test and it said that it was put on hold although the feedback said that I passed the minimum requirements and scored above 35% in comparison to other? Has anyone else had this?Thanks

Hello,

Does anyone know what happens after we’ve done the two tests? It said I performed better than 96% and 99% of test takers but my application has been on hold ever since. Do we have to wait till the 19th for further information?

Also, it says that applications will be sifted on the full description of modules. I don’t remember writing down each module I took during my graduate and postgraduate degrees?
