The European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) has released the exam dates for the 2019 EPSO Administrators (AD5) competition's E-tray Exercise.
While the results of the pre-selection CBT exams have not been announced yet, this new information offers the opportunity to start planning your preparation strategy for the next stage of this competition.
Based off this timeline though I think it is safe to say that we can expect to see the CBT results come out very soon- maybe as soon as next week!
Once the results are announced you won't have too much time to prepare before the intermediate exams take place, so it's important to plan ahead.
KEY DATES:
E-tray booking period: 8 November - 14 November 2019
E-tray Exam Period: 2 December - 5 December 2019
The strict time limit imposed on this test and the vast amounts of information that candidates will need to process super quickly to complete the E-tray Exercise, makes it a very challenging test.
Understanding the logic behind the E-tray Exercise and following strategies to boost efficiency are vital in the preparation of this exam, to maximise your final exam score.
Those EPSO candidates who take the time to understand the right and wrong behaviours for each competency strongly increase their chances of getting a higher score in the E-tray exam.
The good news is we can help you get E-tray ready in record speed. We have pulled all our resources together to give you the best E-tray preparation tools available.
