Maybe it’s different for each area?

Yeah I'm sure each area will have a different number of applicants for the same amount of vacancies and therefore can be more selective! I.e if there's 10 vacancies and 20 people scored 7s (maximum score) there wouldn't be a need to look at any lower scores for immediate interview.

So will I be scored under the ‘sift feedback’ section of the feedback tab before I hear about an interview? Mine still says ‘awaiting sift feedback’. Scored 81 and 69 on the tests so I’m hopeful they take them into account to bump me up if I’ve let myself down in other areas!

I think the score will go on under that 'feedback' tab at the same time your emailed about the outcome (successful or not). I.e they dont put your score on until they've sent the email.

To be honest from my experience with civil service applications they take an impartial approach to each aspect of the application process. Each part of the process is marked by separate individuals or teams and each stage is ranked in order to progress onto the next stage.

Mine's still staying 'awaiting sift feedback' too.

Good Luck everyone! I had my interview last week and received a provisional offer a couple of days later. I was surprised by how quick they got back to me. Waiting for the pre-employment checks to go through now.

Same, i've been waiting nearly 3 weeks now since I submit. I emailed them and was told they're still sifting and there's an order based on the location. He didn't state the order though unfortunately.
