Thanks

My home district scored me 3,4,1,3,2 and the other one scored me 4,4,4,5,5 which is why I don't think I would be offered a position where I live?

Completely contradictory but then - from the way things have been going - wouldn't expect anything less!

Agreed it is condradictory - especially as some of us were told that comps would be 'scored' by the home district and propogated out to the other areas you applied to. Of course I wasn't really scored by my home district - it was obvious they just took the scores from the first place to sift my comps!!! Luckily they are reasonable scores and hopefully I am not stuck with just B'ham if my interview goes well.

Anyway good luck with your interview - when did you set it up for?

My surname begins with H. And I also only applied for E. London

A10, mine begins with C, applied to 2 areas (+ withdrew one before doing the test since the application got garbled, but it gives a test score of 99%!!??), home: E.London. Friend's surname begins with C, applied only to E.London.

Hi everyone had my interview yesterday and have checked review application today and it says this :


Applicant Status: Scheduled for 1st interview
You are now scheduled to attend the next selection event.

Please make sure that you are available at least twenty minutes before your scheduled slot.


Does anyone know what this means?

Or when I can expect to know if I have passed interview?

Thanks x

That is what mine says and I have just set up my interview. Do you have any additional info under the feedback section as there is a section there devoted to interview feedback?

Also how was the interview if you don't mind me asking? Did you have to do any additional tests etc? Any info you can give us would be highly appreciated.

Thanks Amby12,

I'm just trying to figure out if I still have a chance with 58% having received no response yet, starting to think I don't anymore.

If anyone has progressed with similar % would give me some hope

58% - This means that your score on this exercise was higher than at least half of the group of people you have been compared to. You have performed above average in responding to the case studies presented in the exercise.???????? What do you guys think? Any chance?

no response yet, looks like going to have to call them tomorrow for an update. Thanks guys for your responses and good luck to all

I was told exactly the same by the helpline! In that, only the home score counts. In fact, my successful comp scores status changed to 1s and it said 'Yorks to input'. Logged on this weekend and they'd been marked after all. Thank goodness they're NOT consistent is all I can say!

I've booked for 9th March simply because I thought I had blown it so now need some time to do my research!

When is yours?

And good luck to you too

I have been following this thread for a while and found it very entertaining and useful. I thought that I should also contribute to this forum with any info received. I have received my interview invite this morning and have score 98%. Two other people I know, both for E London have also received interview calls today. They have scored 96% and 71%. No information on competencies have been received. The invitation states for 1st interview and its for 1 hour. I ASSUME that the interview invites are based solely on online scores and presume they must have drawn a line under a specific %. What it is we might be able to deduce from other contributors to this forum. All the required documentations were attached to the email received. One fact I have to say is that there were people in this forum who got enjoyment out of others misery by relaying false information. To those people, I can only say, it may be a bit of fun for you but there are a lot of people who look at this job as an opportunity to get back to work. Finally Good Luck to everyone.
