I've been told approximate 200

Wow, that's a 50% success rate for the interviewees. Hope I get to that stage, then.

Just a thought but do we know that the cut off for the test is 80% and if so has anyone who had less than 80% heard anything. If 80% is the cut off I would have thought the people who scored less would have heard by now. I had a friend fail the test really badly and had an email straight away they had failed and another who has a low score under 40% and they haven't heard anything yet.

I got just slightly under and not heard anything back but as soon as I do, I'll post that info.

1600 got 80% or above, if during the sift they cant cut that to 200ish then the pass mark will rise, previously for IRC 57184 DM post last year they done exactly the same the pass mark went up to 95% as there were only 23 positions for the DBC

Sorry if this has been explained before and please don't take it that I'm disagreeing with you because I'm not just interested how do you know 1600 passed at over 80% is that nationally or a specific area. I am getting fed up waiting think I might ring tomorrow to see what is happening or do you think I am just being impatient. Even if it's bad news I would rather know now.

10.000 applied for London district, so the competition in other district would be less and more chances of securing an interview. I applied fr north London , well see n wait. Few people mentioned their percentile has gone up, does it mean ,the competency statements are marked as well?

I applied for East London, got 71% and nothing changed since the 23rd Jan....Sigh.....

I thought we may have heard something today but if the last recruitment is anything to go be it will probably take another 12 months

hi i know this because i work in the office the sift is taking place. 1600 passed at 80% for bham and solihull alone. there is no point in contacting them as the number is for a contact centre which are manned by Band B's, just be patient

if you work there - what was the story with East London? how many applied? how many scored over 80?


just wondering...
