Also there is no one cutoff it depends on context (like state or private and contextual flags) and other parts of the application. A general rule is 40/50 raw score safely gets you an interview, only if your other stuff like grades and statement are up to standard though

If you look on FOI all the converted scores are increments of 2 which is completely unlike any other year which all have decimals and odd numbers. So it’s basically the same as looking at raw scores

F2311 202411 1005 PPE TSA (1).xlsx ?

Doesn't really change too much either way though

What is like considered a ‘good’ score then because obviously how they used to do it they say like 70+ for like good chance of interview but would that still stand?

these are the ones im not sure about but apart from that I reckon I got nearly all right so like 40/50:
binary one (question 50 - impossible)
flipping coin one like probability
genetic disorder one
guided tour in August
Tuesdays in May/june
game show points
did you get any of these? if so what’d u get


Binary one: D (icl I guessed)
Flipping coin: can’t remember letter but I put 0
Game show points- think I put D but idk if we are talking abt the same question- is it the one with like four different ppl at a tournament. If we are talking about the same one o put D (I think)
Also what did ppl grt for the flashing lights one.

I don’t know really cuz I was thrown off at the beginning by the set up of it and stressed me out Abit. I think some were rly hard- binary question, I had this weird one about twins at a round table which was hard, and also one about these people at a tournament and how many games they won or smt. Also I’m normally good at spatial reasoning and there weren’t any 😥😥. Personally I thought it was harder than quite a thew of the recent past papers but others have said different. I hope the boundaries are like the 2021/20 I’d he so happy.
How did u find it? Any other ones u found hard?

I think i had all the questions u were talking abt in this post. Yea it was quite hard for me asw and I genuinely hope I was picking the right stuff cuz some i just guessed after spending like 3 mins on each question… i thought the critical thinking conclusion questions were quite direct unlike the underlying assumptions. Problem solving seemed fine but definitely were trying to trick us
