    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

  • 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!!

    Has anyone else had any response re: NICS?

    I did my test last wed and havent received anything in the post yet - didnt think I would hear until March!!

    Thanks
  • 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!
