    I'm getting De ja Vu... :D a few pages back someone (from inside DWP I believe) posted that it was based against a number of people that took the test a few months ago (as a control exercise or a real recruitment exercise I know not). Thinking about it, it would be a bit silly to try and compare you against people as the % score would only really be useful to people that completed the test in the last day or so.

    I got 83% overall. I am disappointed.
    Does anyone have idea what the final % would be like
    Test = 83% ( assuming 80% is cut off point)
    Competency statement= ?
    Interview= ?

    Overall =???
    In order to be offered a postion.

    Have jumped through all the hoops I think. The results of the SIFT test are under feedback. I got 92% which I think is where you come in a ranking, but whether of all who have ever done the test or just this exercise I don't know.

    Anyone know how many jobs or applicants there are?

    Applying in Leicestershire and Warwickshire.

    Pass Test
    Pass Competency
    Interview = Score less than 4 in any competency (scored from 0-9) and you will fail the interview

    Ranking = related to interview score out of 45

    Hi Ladygea

    There should be a link on the left side of your screen stating feedback which gives you your online test score. Im applying for black country area and got 68%.

    Thanks for pointing this out. I got a score of 71% - to be honest I thought I had done better than that but then again I was doing it at about 11 oclock at night.

    Guess will just wait to see what happens now
