    Best advice seems to be that given earlier about ignoring what's shown on the results website as it's too confusing and unclear if scores appearing are even relevant.

    It's only when they send the email will you know for sure the outcome of your application.

  • nope work did!

    How strange. Did they say why? If they have to resift, they'd have to mark everyone again (presumably), and haven't some people already been offered interviews for Birmingham?

    Hiya :) I have been following for a while, completed the test on the day before it was due as was only told by the job centre that day! Assesment was 58th centile so didnt think I had a chance and still dont really as some of the scores on here were amazing! Sift still says awaiting review? This is Bham but I actually wanted Worcester but had major problems with the worcester assesment as it kept freezing so reapplied for Bham.

    Are you saying that you didn't manage to apply for Worcester at all then?

    That is my 2nd area and it has been on hold for over a week. I don't expect it to change now as Glos&SW is my 'home' area. As people are starting to get emails I think all we can do is wait for those. As Daidai says, that will be the only way to know for sure.

    Chara - what area have you applied for?
    Thames Valley only, I wish I had tried West London as well now.

    Hiya did assesment but ended up clicking randomly to try to end the test quickly, technically applied as it showed a score of 30% which was tot random :) So had to apply for Bham as it wouldnt let me apply again did contact the helpline about this but they would look into this if I was succesful so none the wiser :)

    That's because they've already been scored elsewhere.

    No need to resift, it's the process they're following :)

    But that is (supposedly) being explained - the 1's are set as place holders as other areas are your designated 'home' areas and the scores from those areas are going to be used to determine if you have an interview - if they ever get round to marking them that is ;). In fact some people had scores from B'ham that were higher than other areas - not the other way round and I'm sure they would be very po'ed if their B'ham scores are re-done and come out lower!! And at least one person has posted they have been offered an interview at B'ham so surely their scores can't be re-marked!!

    Just more confusion and mis-direction coming from the CS in regards to this entire process.
