STILL nothing, "awaiting review" - Jesusssssssssssssssssssssssss

Same here. Though part of me doesn't want to see my scores, since it all seems very arbitrary.

Hi all,

Been keepin tabs on thread for a while and would like to say thanks to all who post updates.

I have just had my feedback through for Black country area and following previous posts may have just missed out.

86% on-line test.

comps were
3 x 4's
1 x 3
1 x 6
Feedback comments were basic and minimal at best.

I do wish all good luck with their own apps and I'm sure everyone will hear in due course. Fingers crossed.

Hi Moz8,

All is not lost, it's not over till the fat lady sings and all that, I'm not sure whether getting below a 4 on the competencies actually rules you out completely might also depends on what others have scored I suppose as to whether or not you'll be called to interview. Fingers crossed for you too

I have also applied for Black Country and got 86% on the on-line test but still as yet to hear anything back.......can I ask when you had your feedback show up? was it just this afternoon?

Yeah, bit fed up now. I could've spent my free time this week knitting coasters for a dollhouse, or trying to guess the flavours of those "mysterious crisps" Walkers has come out with.

Obviously, "shortly" should be translated here as "short compared to the duration of the last Ice Age."

My son's had his through today,(South Yorks), he got all 3s and 4s so he won't get an interview, but he's not too disappointed as he has had a job offer today for a job he applied for at the local college, it's not such good money but it's a role he's much more suited to:)

Hi all, first post.

I received my feedback yesterday and got 7,8,8,8,9. I'm pretty pleased with it.

To put it bluntly: if you talk about more than one example or just talk vaguely you'll struggle. That's just the way competency applications are. The STAR example that was in the information pack should have helped.

Good luck to everyone.

I'm not surprised you're 'pretty pleased'! I'd be ecstatic. Well Done!
