Civil Service Fast Stream 2017/18

Original post by H.a.hx

Guys, I submitted my additional info for one of my streams. I entered the modules fine on the box we were supposed to enter it. But when I sumbitted it, it all looks jumbled up with no commas and I'm not sure if its going to make sense.

Don't worry - happened to everyone! Might not jumbled on their side :smile:

found out today i failed social research at sifting stage (submitted additional info last week) - does anyone know why this would be? i have 2:1 which is requirement so wondering if they thought my history degree wasn't suited enough?

Does anyone know right now what score you need to be considered for generalist? I passed for social research and would like to keep my options open in case that didn't go well, and generalist is my second option.

So far it seems to be any score above 11. I'm sure the band will be narrowed further, but it just depends of how many people get the above 11 score I guess.

Congratulations! When did you do your FSAC? And, did you find out via email or by checking the portal? Did my FSAC yesterday morning so I'm sitting refreshing away like a wally, never been so nervous, which would be typical for me to not hear until January!

I sat my assessment centre for Generalist on Tuesday and just got offered it! Scored 11 (I struggled with analysis, got the calculations wrong too and scored over 0.5 higher on some of the others so quite lucky!)

Quite shocked but shows there's hope guys!

I did my FSAC on Tuesday 21st Nov PM in London and people told me it seems if you've got the current pass score then you hear around 2-3 working days after. Today was day 2 for me.

Congratulations!! How did you think the rest of it went? I feel I did well at analysis, flopped the leadership and average at the group exercise, although my option was chosen, so fingers crossed if you feel you hadn't got it then I'm in the same bracket!

Do you think there's any hope I will secure my second choice of generalist with 10.82? I am just so scared that if i don't pass the final assessment for social research I'll be unemployed :biggrin:

also any idea how these final assessments work??
Well done everyone by the way!!

looking at pass scores from last year, I think you have a good chance! Unless there is just loads of people who get really high scores! Haha.

Update as more scores continue to trickle through. Congratulations everyone who is hearing good news. Insanely jealous of all the Generalists and kicking myself for not getting a score above 11!

Also just realised I did my FSAC a month ago today :frown:

told myself at the time to allow a month to hear and any earlier would be a bonus! Looks like i was too optimistic! The pitfalls of doing the FSAC early in the process :frown:

Good luck! My analysis task really was awful and my assessment highlights that; but I tried to use data in the group to make up for it so I wouldn't worry about tasks too much. I thought Group went well and Leadership quite poorly. I think it's easy to be a harsh critic on the leadership one and I found the marking quite generous on that. Best of luck!

Ooh so it is a quick turnaround. I'll keep an eye out, I'm way too impatient for this waiting game. Fully expect I've failed, so I would rather get a quick email with some feedback, than wait weeks and build up the expectation.

Ha, it was either that or use a word to describe a phallic shaped object!
