Hi, this is failry normal, some use the old literacy/numeracy testing and some use the said online test for others. The test is the same for both AO and EO, however the pass mark is obviously different.

To be honest it sounds identical to the HEO online test i done a few weeks ago, if so, sounds OTT for an AO role.

Hi Sportycus

The EO one that I have heard about is a 60 minute test and the EO one is 75 minutes the same as the one I took. What made me think was the scenarios were as if you were at a high grade not AO. AO's do not have a team of 40 or more people working under them or are responsible for a whole department which is what these questions were about.

I am gutted. I've just got back from holiday and received my confirmation letter for my start next week. I was originally told on the phone that I was being employed as a Personal Advisor, EO level (which was what I had applied for). This letter says that I will be a Band B/Administrative Officer (£5,000/yr less). £15,000 will just about cover my bills each month, and that's before travel to/from work each day. I can't phone them up to check till Monday now so I've got all weekend to be feeling let down and rubbish. And I'm meant to be celebrating my b-day this weekend, and celebrating the new job. Looks like that's going to be a rubbish celebration. I know that at least it's a job but how can they say one thing and then tell me something different on the letter. I'm just hoping that the letter details are wrong but somehow I doubt it (although the ref number at the top of the letter is for the EO vacancy and when I got my waiting list letter that too referred to the EO vacancy).

Does anyone know the address of the tax office for Jobcentre Plus. I need to contact them to change my tax code.

If I recall correctly its the one in Cardiff, I'll go and find a payslip which should have the code on it......

Did you apply for an AO post? If not it'll be a mistake they can't just downgrade the post you applied for.

Well my line manager wasnt sure what I enter, lol

@Sammy, would anything happen if I left it as it is

No idea hon, I doubt it like I said we've never completed it on our team. I would just leave it unless someone mentions it then they can tell you how to fix it!

Okay, now I am concerned about the Atos healthchecks. Do they investigate everything that you listed in the questionnaire? If so, how do they do the investigation. I ask this as most of my records pertaining to any past health issues are in a different country! So I would not be able to provide further info.

The health issues were about ten years ago - do they go back that far?
