Fast Stream 2023 (Reinstated) applicants thread.

Original post by Heinn

Just did my tests.

Work Style Questionnaire Part 1 - A lot of alingment.

Situational Judgement Questionnaire - High range performance.

Numerical Test - High range performance.

Work Style Questionnaire Part 2 - Below Average.

I am starting to panic about that below average.

Good luck to everyone!

How long they take you? Good luck!

I just did mine:

WSQ 1: Above average/high alignment
SJT: Average
Numerical Test: Above average
WSQ 2: Above average

Kinda kicking myself over the Average but hey ho, what’s done is done. Now we wait 🙃

Everything besides numerical took me around 10-15 minutes for each part.

Numerical took me around 25 minutes.

think it'll be the described 5 day windows to complete everything but the whole process will be longer than two weeks when accounting for the gaps in between whilst waiting for results - there's quite a detailed summary of the timeline on the FAQs page

5 days for the initial tests (starting from the moment you register), another 5 days for WSB (when they unlock it), another 7 days for additional info (upon passing WSB), then the FSAC. :smile:

"When will the assessment centre appointments take place?

We expect assessment centres to run between the end of January and the end of March."

Civil service has a page with practice tests. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/civil-service-online-tests

Also, when you do the actual tests you will also have a practice question beforehand and it will let you know whether you answered it incorrectly. :smile:

Do you know if they've offered the Generalist STEM one before? or is this the first year?
the details about that stream were really vague on their website and on their YouTube they have pretty in depth videos about each stream except for the generalist STEM one
