    I am wondering the same.... No news at all on my app :-(
    I have been assured that everyone will hear by the end of the week though. Fingers crossed for us all that are waiting.

    Just shows that no 2 people are giving out the same information on the recruitment line, I was told everyone would be contacted by the end of today...

    Been away for a week and just checked on my feedback and completely utterly failed on my competence's so that's me out. I was 89th percentile in the test. Not much feedback - just same lowest possible score 1 for every competence and a ''Does not meet the required standard'' comment. :( . Bit gutted.

    Best of luck to everyone else.

    A lot of these 5x1s seem to have been given out at the end of last week. What area was it for. If you feel they are not right the helpline have an email address that has been set up for this reason if you call them they will give it to you if you say you are disputing your scores. The more that complain the more chance they get re-looked at. Good luck

    Derbyshire. Reading back there have been some other 1's across the board in Derbyshire - but also a fair few with 'proper' scores - so I expect my competences just weren't up to scratch (mind you I worked very hard on them and read all the relevant information on the DWP and CS sites, plus googled about for examples and keyword lists etc, so just to get a 1 on them all is a tad upsetting)

    Don't worry, as long as u secured 4 and over,you have passed the competency. With similar scores and less percentile 71%my friend secured an interview in that region.. Wait n see.

    Still nothing, beginning to think I'm now waiting for a rejection email. Fed up of this process and never known somewhere recruit in such a way with the dripping of information. Tell us all at once or none at all I think would have been a much fairer way of conducting themselves.
  • have got an interview!!! tyne and wear email came through 11am yesterday x

    Well done on securing an interview! :T
    I haven't heard a smidging :(
    Would you be happy to let us know what your % test scores were?
