    Same here.

    When did you apply? I applied 28/01 and my daughter 30/01 and both still "being reviewed"

    I thought interviews were supposed to start on the 22nd? Where did you see the info about those starting on the 16th?

    Just looked at my one and it says in the ad:
    Interview dates and locations to be confirmed – these are likely to be between 22/02/17 and 07/03/17. Interviews will be held at various London locations although this is subject to change.

    Ahh yours is london mine is Birmingham...

    "Interviews are to be held between 16 February and 03 March 2017. We can only consider your application if you can attend an interview within the dates above."

    Still being reviewed guessing judgement day is tomorrow lol! A family friend applied for a different district (black country) and got her results today! So slowly but surely i guess!

    My status has changed today to "application unsuccessful".

    Looking at feedback:
    Competency Rating
    Managing a quality service 5
    Making effective decisions 4

    Overall rating
    Acceptable Demonstration

    5 and 4 out of what as it does not say?

    Gutted now to be honest :(

    Scores range I *think* from 1 to 7.

    The higher the score the better you have done.

    Thanks just found them

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-civil-service-jobs-website
    Generally to progress to the next stage a candidate should score at least 4 for each competence.

    So with test "better than 75% of people who took the test" and then scores 5 and 4 really I should have progressed to interview stage but did not :(

    So gutted
