Civil Service fast stream 2022

Hi everyone. Great conversation here. It really helps reading the questions and answers on the page. Thank you for starting this thread. I have selected schemes like Diplomatic and Development which I came to realize is very competitive with only 5 slots. This is ridiculously few. How can I change my selected preferences. I am invited to the assessment and have 3 days to complete but I do not want to do the tests before I change my selected schemes. How can I can change? I could not see any option to change.

Video interview is still locked after 12+ hours... what does this mean?! D:

I got above average and average on WBS and learning assessment last night and still locked out too... At least we're not alone but doesn't feel like a good sign 😭

To everyone worrying about not getting through to further stages straight away - last year the majority of applicants on here seemed to be amber banded and a lot got through still! There were only a few people I remember who were progressed straight away

What do you mean by amber banded?

It’s basically where you are held if you haven’t scored high enough to progress straight away on the online tests/WBS. You are then compared to all the other applicants for this years intake and the band is slowly contracted depending on how others have done - if you’ve done similar or better than the majority of others you will likely get through, below the majority and you probably will get filtered out

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but what's your main reason for applying for these Fast Stream graduate schemes?? I am about to apply but I'm just thinking is been few years since I graduated and what's the point? Are they aimed at people who want to be managers because that's not something I want to be?

Hi guys,

I got the following results: WSQ1 mostly aligned, SJQ interpersonal high range (above average?), SJQ thinking average range, WSQ2 average. I still haven't unlocked work based scenarios and i was wondering if the stages remaining locked means that ive been unsuccessful or do i get an email stating that.

Pretty much the same as last year. Just give it your best shot.

I've applied for Diplomatic & Development, Project Delivery, Finance, Generalist in that order.

Feedback from my first test shows strong alignment to Fast Stream.

Currently a direct appointment at DIT after being unsuccessful last year. Happy to help in any way I can (however unable to advise on tests etc).
