DWP situational judgement test - work coach

Hello, I have completed the situational judgement test and it has come back with a score of 364.00.

It says I will progress onto the next stage, which I assume is the 500 word part that I wrote.

Does anybody know what the score of 364.00 is because everywhere I look on the Internet, it says a percentage will be given.

Pretty sure the SJ test is out of 452. Why they give out a random number is beyond me as there's absolutely no context to base it on.

The test is scored out of 7, as are all the competencies etc. Your score of 346 give you around 77% which should equate to ~5.4 so will maybe be a 5 so well done

How long did it take for everyone to hear back about the situational judgement test? I’ve applied for a different DWP job as I’m already a work coach in the jobcentre and looking to move. I just done the test today

Update, I did pass everything. SIFT was 3, which is the minimum. They first said I hadn't passed and then I did.

So did the online interview, passed, did all checks and then they wouldn't accept my previous job as a ref because it was a private home LOOOOOOL.

So I gave up and just left it and they withdrew my application. They since keep emailing asking if I want to carry on but I cannot get passed the business email address so anyway I got another job on the same money and more suited to me :smile:

good luck

Hi, how long does it take for you to get your score back because I applied five days ago and I’ve not heard anything so I was just wondering how long it took for you to find out you would go into the next stage

I don't think they give scores back generally any more at least that's what I was told. I think it's usually 2-3 weeks after sjt to hear if you're invited to interview. Sometimes less sometimes more but all 3 of mine were about that, be prepared for the whole process to take a good few months
