  • So does it go by the second test score if it was the same online test for both? I really hope so because I got 70%.
  • You still have a chance Lizzy. You might have done better in the interview or with your competencies.

    Mine feedback for Initial Sift Test for AO says:
    'You have scored better than 80% of people who have previously taken this test.'

    However, I did the test before for AA position (didn't get to interview stage to be fair) and I had only 51% and anyway I had to redo the test for AO! It is strange because as somene mentioned before it says on the feedback for AA position that I met minimum requirements and I should not be required to take the test again within 6 months. So now I wonder which score they take for AO assessment ;/
    I wonder because so far I have not received any emails or anything ;/

    Don't worry. Same as me and I've just literally now gotten crb check
  • I haven't had my scores yet. I think the CRB cert has gone to my old address. I updated my address on the application, but don't know if they have seen it or just used the address from the form.

    Does everyone get a CRB and have to provide references/heath record even if you are unsuccessful ?
  • Do the reference requests come seperate to the crb check?

    Thanks.

    Yep.
    Didn't everyone fill in a CRB form at the interview?
    I'd hazard a guess the CRB's were sent in a.s.a.p because they usually take 2 weeks+ to come through.

    I think everyone who was interviewed will CRB checked regardless but I don't know about the refs.
    Being asked for refs will be a promising sign but it could still result in being placed on 'reserve' and not being offered a position at that time.
