    Just got North London scores, 6,6,7,7,6 - no email yet! Pleased with score though as only got 76% on situation test. :)

    Well done on those scores. Hopefully that should put you nearer the front of the interview shortlisting.

    Your name isn't Mark is it???!! Would you be so keen to join and share your scores if you had done so badly in the online tests AND the comps??

    This whole competency business just shows what a joke this recruitment has been... Has anyone noticed that the question on the competency asked us to give "Yours Skills and Experiences"..... not "An example" or "One specific example"....

    Useless DWP worded it wrong. Some people thus just happened to give one example, and some gave a list of their skills and experiences....

    The link this bloke is on about was a non-descript URL in the middle of the vacancy page, which you then had to click through another 4 links to get to the competency pdf.......

    TOTAL JOKE!..... Run by jokers......

    Jokers or not, over 63000 people applied for the jobs. Guess they have to cut down the numbers anyway they can.

    That would be amusing - their version of an 'idiot test?' :rotfl:

    It wouldn't ensure Equal Opportunities for everyone, though, if it were. That strategy seems more suited to applying for MI5 than the DWP. Actually, I think I did some of their tests once, and found them less ambiguous. :cool:
