Yes i need this to be over with now so I can stop thinking about it even if I'm unsuccessful. I have 3 weeks left of my maternity leave and I just want to enjoy them worry free.

This seems the best place to ask. I applied for the HO Caseworker role earlier - first time. I received and passed the first two tests (99/93) however the situational one doesn't seem to be anywhere and my application was put on hold (marked online tests complete). Are these scores too low? The advert stated that all three would be completed by 5th April..

That will get you through - they will set a pass mark for tests you’ve done after the closing date and you’ll be invited to the SJT.
This thread is for the TSP though so maybe best to not discuss in here, might be worth starting another thread.

I’ve also applied and was invited to SJT straight away so don’t think this is accurate

Assumed it would be same as we had on TSP - I’d be very surprised if the scores the individual posted weren’t sufficient to get through.

FWIW the post is Compliance Caseworker (HO) in Edinburgh. Applied, invited to numerical, completed, invited to verbal, completed, online testing complete.
Maybe I should contact them.

Anyway thanks for the comments.

I applied for the same post but in Newcastle and my scores were banked from TSP so perhaps the difference I wouldn’t worry about it

Good luck 🍀

How much notice is it that you need to give your employer?


3 months... Failure to notify them by 1pm today will result in a considerable loss of earning without pay if I don't hand it in today. Can't elaborate any more on here :smile: *puts tin foil hat on*
