Well i survived it, only just though:eek: Thanks for the advice everyone, a few poor sods turned up in suits and looked really uncomfortable bless them.
No idea how i've done but i'm not holding out much hope:rotfl: Good luck to any other peeps who sat the test x:starmod:C'est la vie:starmod:0 -
I did the test this morning. There were over 120 people in the room and I would imagine they would have a test every day for a couple of weeks. That makes it .... loads of people competing for a handful of posts. Guess I've got more chance of winning the lottery!
I felt really sorry for the few people that left the test within the first 10 minutes. I must confess I thought about doing the same but once I got into it the time flew.
Hmm, I'm not sure how many of the civil servants already in that grade would do if they had to do the test!!

I did the graduate entry test last year. My test was in January and I was invited to an assessment centre in the Stormont hotel in April. I received the result at the end of June and was posted in August.
I was told 1900 people took the test, about 95 were invited to the assessment centre and 32 got a job offer.
Good luck everybody!0 -
