Fast Stream 2023 (Reinstated) applicants thread.

completed the online tests on the 9th and the WBS unlocked for me on the 15th. So I’m not sure why is your one still locked ? What schemes did you apply for ?

I applied for hr, project delivery, generalist and DDT&C. I keep thinking that since I’ve not heard back then I must be somewhere in the amber band but haven’t yet heard of anyone being unsuccessful so was curious. I see there are still a fair few people waiting so it’s a game of patience I guess

I applied on the 8th too, got x4 above average, and WBS still hasn't unlocked for me either.

Hi, does anyone know if there is any financial help for people moving to London, living on 28.5k will be very hard and I know many people will be struggling

Hi everyone!
I applied for the following schemes:
Diplo
HoP
Digital
Generalist

For the online tests I got
WSQ1 - Average
SJQ - High range
Numerical - Higher than the majority
WSQ2 - Above average

Then my WBS's unlocked almost immediately but I didn't do so well getting
CSA - Average
LA - Average

I think my performance in those last two might let me down:/
Best of luck everyone!

I’m in the same position as you really annoyed with myself about my performance at the WBS stage but, most people in this thread so far got an average overall so I think maybe we have a chance of progressing.

Does anyone know if you can apply without a degree if you’re an AO? Thanks

As long as you are an existing civil servant you can apply without a degree. Grade doesn’t matter (unless you’re an SEO or above in which case it might be pointless)

Does anyone have an idea when we will hear back about our WBS results? I got progressed to WBS within 30 min and just wanna know if it's a similar process to the next stage.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Just completed my online tests. I got
WSQ1: some alignment, but to a limited degree (i.e. below average)
SJQ: above average
Numerical: higher than the majority
WSQ2: average

Is the WSQ1 likely to end my chances of making it further? I feel like it's probably going to be costly.

I am about to apply for the fast stream. The deadline is tomorrow noon.

Does that mean I still have 5 days to complete my tests, or does it mean all tests need to be completed before the deadline tomorrow?

You'll have 5 days to submit the tests. They should unlock within about ten minutes of you completing the application.

Anyone know which roles are oversubscribed and which roles are not?

Also, do roles such as project delivery have 3 test stages? I'm also looking at generalist, and the FS site implies there is only 2.

I have been asked to complete all 4 of the initial tests and I have a disability. In past years I only needed to complete 2 of the 4 tests. Is this normal this time around?

All the schemes except Generalist, Human Resources, Digital, Data, Technology & Cyber and Finance schemes have the final selection board stage. If you pass the AC for those schemes you have been accepted onto the scheme but for any others you have to attend the final selection board

PD has an FSAC and FSB. I'd be very careful in choosing PD as a choice as the environment can be very fast faced for someone who does not hold have prior PD experience.

I got very similar results to you, all the same
except WSQ2 (got above average) and my WBS unlocked earlier this week. There was about a 10 day wait for the WBS to unlock, good luck hopefully you don’t have to wait too long to hear more 🤞

I also scored average for both WBS, which I was slightly disappointed about.

Has anyone actually been told after the First round of tests that they are no longer being considered?
Or is there just an endless wait to hope stage 2 might be unlocked at some point …
