Fast Stream 2023 (Reinstated) applicants thread.

I had my assessment centre on 24th Jan and was absolutely certain that I’d failed because I found this year’s AC so much harder than last year, and I came away really upset.
Just got an email that I’ve been offered a role on Generalist 😭 I’m over the moon. Don’t give up yet or be too harsh on yourselves, keep checking those inboxes! And good luck x

Hey All, I just found out I passed the AC with a score of 11! Surprised because had my AC last week and thought I bottled it lol

It was my 2nd attempt applying for the fast stream so supper chuffed

Congrats! So happy for u! Btw, I have a question. I'm going to do my phone interview in the coming weeks for the SDIP. Say I become successful, for next year's Fast Stream Application, do I go straight through to the FSAC stage?

For example, for Finance, the final stage is the FSAC one. So, will that mean I won't have to do any tests/extra info and go straight to the assessment centre?

Thank you!!

So if you pass your sdip (e.g complete your objectives/ your manager passes you) they give you a code to use. This code allows you to skip all the online tests and go straight into the assessment center when you first apply for the FS.

So naturally you just have to pass the AC to get into the Fast Stream. (Unless your scheme as any additional tests/interviews on top of the standard WBS tests etc)

What streams were you in the AC for?

Brilliant, well done. Now comes the obsessive checking of your inbox for the follow-up email.

What was your score out of interest?

I applied for DDaT for my 1st choice and generalist, and I got into the DDaT scheme

Just out of interest, do you remember what the starting salary was for DDaT? That's my first choice too (yet to do my AC!)

(Original post by mjjjj44)Has anyone had FSAC results for GSR yet?

Mine is scheduled in March.

On the invitation email, it states that I am invited to the Fast Stream Assessment Centre (FSAC) and links the corresponding guidance.However, I was under the impression that applicants to the Government Economics Service would attend an Economic Assessment Centre (EAC) which consists of a quite a different assessment method. Does anyone know which AC is for the GES?
