It's beginning to feel like purgatory waiting whilst others have either got through or been rejected... it seems to be related to some schemes having not set their pass marks. Anyone also waiting with some of HoP, Diplo, Policy and Commercial as choices? I assume I haven't got through for the first 2 at least, so it's probably more the second 2

I’m waiting for results for diplo, HR, policy and operational delivery! I’ve seen some people have been accepted for diplo but I reckon there’s still a large proportion of people that haven’t heard anything yet, so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I’m still waiting too with project delivery, operational delivery, commercial and property.

I’ve seen people with similar scores to me get through for the first two so I assume I’m waiting on commercial and property 🤷🏻*♀️

FYI I’ve just this minute received an email for additional information.. I got rejected for commercial though

Hey, Fast Stream portal has just updated for me. Managed to pass the WBS section with 2 average results in LA & CA. Schemes are Policy, HR, Commercial, and Project Delivery. Yet to unlock extra information/next section on the portal.

Have many people been rejected yet? As in from the whole scheme not just one stream? I got 2x averages in my WBS and still not heard back so assume I'm just waiting for the rejection at this point...

Do you have to write a response for the Government Economics Service questions? Im graduating in 2024, so the first question asking about if its been 5 years doesn't seem relevant. The 2nd question is also not relevant since i haven't done an assessment centre in previous years. What do people recommend? Should i still write a response in the box? btw i passed for economics service and project delivery with averages in both the WBS and LA (rejected from commercial and gov. policy stem)

It’s genuinely painful waiting for a response lol

I know people who got lower scores in all initial tests than me who got through to WBS days before I did, so I’m not 100% sure they do it in order. Maybe the WBS section is different? It all seems a bit random 😅

My mate who applied to the Economic services also had the same question. I'd assume that you would just state in Q1 that you are in your final year of studying Economics at university.

Q2. I'd just state that you haven't done an assessment centre in recent years.

If anyone else knows what to put, I'd appreciate it if you could let us know.

Someone I know scored 'below average' in one of the tests and was notified about the rejection earlier in the week. However, I haven't seen anyone who has selected Finance as their (main) scheme(s) say that they have passed yet - hopefully, there's a delay with Finance; otherwise, I feel like I am being left behind!!

I’ve been invited to the FSAC with Finance as one of my preferences, but it isn’t my first preference.

I’m still waiting on HR, I’m assuming you’re in the same boat?

Hey, I’ve just been accepted for the next stage with two averages on the WBS. Good luck

Congratulations and thank you for letting me know! I assume that you got 'above average' in at least one of the WBS tests?

Yeah, I got above average in the LA.

Good luck with your application. I hope you hear back soon.

Yep, just checked. No massive surprise but got axed just now. Above average - below average. Everything else was solid so that below killed me

I got average for the case study and above average for the learning assessment 😊

I got 2 averages in the WBS and passed finance,
Operational Delivery, extra information requested for Project Delivery. I didn’t pass policy.

When did you do your WBS? I did finance, HR, Commercial and Property. I got average on both and still waiting to hear back.

Just found I’ve passed the WBS! I’m not sure what schemes I’ve passed yet but I’m so happy to have gotten this far 🙂

I hope everyone else who’s waiting gets some good news soon!
