No results for me yet in the North East. The idea that announcement will be made alphabetically is well wide of the mark. I am very early in the alphabetic listings and scored quite well with a 40. However this does not mean I'll hear before Mr Zwartz who scored 41 (if indeed he exists).

The announcements will be made based on the score achieved and whether a place is available at any of the offices you put in for. If you're yet to put in a preference office you may well get a call asking for this information. If you scored 45 but you have not selected an office with vacancies I would imagine they'd call you.

The reserve list is likely to be long. It may be that just about everyone who doesn't fail the interview (score a 3 or less) may be placed here. The way to judge if you're likely to get picked up is to try and gauge the lowest "provisional offer" scores and see how that compares to your own. As an example, if the lowest job you hear of is a 35 and you scored 34, you're far more likely to get picked up than another who only scored 30.

May I add my sincere congratulations to all of you who have received offers. Well done and good luck.

To all you guys n gals who are asking others “what did you score”; what difference does it make. You’ll either get an offer or you won’t and you’ll find out soon enough. Speculating about other people’s scores against your own will only lead to unrealistic expectations, especially if the successful person was from another area.

What did you imagine the scores to be out of? If it was ten then your far better off, eh?

Good luck. I hope you get it.

Hey Wizzy and Vidallou...well done to you both. We seem to have been on here for soooooo long and maybe now the end is in sight.

Jay,

At 23, with what I imagine to be relatively little work experience compared to some of the sweats on here (I've been working since 1976), I'd say that you've done remarkably well to score 40.

I think if you don't get in with 40 I'll eat my missus's hat.

It was yes, it was an experience that's for sure.
I met a few nice people on the day too
most of them were internal applicants

I thought my interview had gone badly as I was very nervous,
but my score aren't too bad lol

I am getting fed up of being out of work now,
its been far too long. I have no trouble getting interviews
but every one comes back with
'Sorry, you were our second choice' argggg!

I am looking for Cheshire area
good luck hunny
