I'm getting De ja Vu...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.0 -
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.0 -

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 now0
