Civil Service Fast Stream 2019/20

Hi there would it be possible to get some infor re the process etc

There isn’t really any way I found to prepare. I personally found 2 of them challenging, but made it thru to WBS. The only advice I can give is looking at the Level 3 Success Profiles (There’s a link in the FAQs or just google it) and have them in mind. Good luck!

You can't really prepare for it. I did not complete the SJT so cannot talk about them. The WSQ I found straight forward. For the WBS I found the first set easier and more interesting than the secTond

So kind. Thank you! By the way, can I ask how long the initial tests take. Was going to take them now but I have to leave in two hours

Thanks!!! How long did these tests take, just so i know how much time to put aside for them?

I'm mature too. I'm 39.

36! Nice that I am not the only 'mature' one

I know I am late to the taking the tests party... but what were people's feedback on response? I don't think I did very well :/ my feedback for the situational judgement tests were 'your answers were compatible with most applicants' but basically saying that I needed to improve. My WSQ were 'mostly aligned with our views'. It's all 'mostly' is that good enough to get through to the WBS?? Also how long did you hear back? Thanks!

Still no feedback on WBS / video interview unlocked. Really really hope I at least get through to this stage with it being my first year of applying. Don't know how much longer I can stay being an AO and at the moment with brexit a lot of CS jobs being advertised aren't even there!

Does passing the tests mean you're through for all of your schemes?

So my application updated today to show this, but I haven't yet received an email and my WBS are still locked. Anyone else? (It previously said "You've completed this section, we'll send you an email when we have your results. Make sure you check your junk inbox.")

Just found out I've been unsuccessful despite my feedback being 'higher than the majority of applicants', anyone else had the same?

Sorry to hear that, did you apply for highly competitive schemes? Not that's it's much help but there's always next year and at least now you know a little about what to expect. Remember there's also the CS jobs website too to look for jobs. From what I read on last years thread if you work hard enough there's room to develop at a similar rate to FS. Good luck with your other job applications

I haven't seen anyone go through, and considering it only looks like there was a pass mark adjustment for stage 1 tests late yesterday, I can't see them letting anyone through to VI for a bit yet.
