It's definitely opening later this year, there's also some scheme changes.
There's an applicants "sticky" chat for 2019 at the top of the Public Sector threads.

Don't know, yet! There's another thread for this going on and I applied at noon when it opened. I've done better than average with my maths, but have no response on the other 2 things yet.

Does anyone have any tips for the learning assessment? Is it just the same as the case study thing?

do you have any practice resources for the tests

Reply 16

Is there a thread for 2024/25 applications? Didn't get it last year so prepping for another round!

Also, would anyone recommend a good website for practice assessments? I breezed through the Numerical, SJQ and Work Style assessments, but only got 'in the same range as other candidates' on the Case Study and Learning Assessment, which is where I assumed I came unstuck.

Also, which streams do people think are best for tactical applications? (I did History and Economics at Uni)

Thanks!
