Really don't know I would wait for the results to come out as I know some people have got through to the next stage with those scores in previous years. It really depends on how many applicants they have, number of places and how many they can allow through. I have forgotten about it now to be honest and accepted that I will get through if and when I am meant to. I'm still hoping to get to SEO without having to go through this rigiourous process.

That’s not far away. Tbh they will probably start sending out emails in November for AC

Probably, I imagine if people had a fast pass, they would be in a similar boat and have their AC around the same time.

It could also depend on what scheme people have applied for! Best of luck to everyone though!

Has anybody managed to get excelling in WB and CS?

yeah, bit of a shock. Last year got through to AC but stumbled. I dunno how far I'll take it this year, I have a job I enjoy so it would be a difficult decision. Didn't think much of it when I applied

Well done - only you can make that decision regarding the job - trust your gut instincts as they say and take it one step, one hurdle at a time.

First time fast stream application. I currently work as an EO civil servant.

I’ve applied for HR, operational delivery and finance.

I’ve scored refining in both tests.

Does anyone have an information on location? Do you submit a preference?

To update, I got excelling and developing so if they're averaging it out, if think it'd put me as refining and enough for me to pass 😅 wishful thinking!
When does the additional information open?? How soon after doing the test?

Same result as yours😀
All fingers crossed
What streams did you applied to?

You can apply for relocation restrictions but you only need to let them know at the final stages. I think you need a valid reason such as caring responsibilities, disabilities etc that would prevent you from being productive at another location. You have to complete a form but that will be explained to you if you get offered a place on the scheme.

Are all the earlier FSACs, early nov, just going to be people who had internships this year? Anyone who isn’t a previous intern got a AC in this period?

Hi guys. I’m an ex-Fast Streamer and this year my sister is applying. We’ve gone on to have a look at the application format this year and I can’t believe how much it’s changed! I applied in 2019 and had to pass a situational judgement test, verbal reasoning test, numerical test, work-based scenarios, a case study, a video interview, and then the assessment centre. Now it looks like there are only work-based scenarios and the case study, and then it’s straight through to the assessment centre? Anyone know when this changed (and why, out of curiosity)?

They have been refining it year after year and you can only apply for 3 schemes now as opposed to 4. I reckon they worked on feedback based on the process been very long and drawn out and realise that you learn more through doing the WBS and Case Study than meaningless personality questionaires and a pre-recorded video interview.
