3. USE THIS SUMMER TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

Applications will close on 15 September.

The next step after that will be an exam round at the start of the competition.

This is a preliminary testing round used to eliminate a number of candidates right at the beginning - so it's a good idea to utilise this time over the summer to enhance your skills in the relevant areas.

Luckily for you, we have a whole suite of EPSO preparation resources available for you to get ready for these tests.

STEP 1: Watch these FREE "Beginner's Guide" webinars

STEP 2: Gain more insights by working through a number of exercises with an expert

STEP 3: Start to regularly do practice tests

Regular and consistent practice over an extended period of time is the key to improving your proficiency in these tests.

It takes time to become familiar with the different types of questions that can be posed per test type, and more importantly, to become fast at completing them. This doesn't happen overnight, so use this extra time to your advantage. Practice packages for the 2020 EPSO European Law competition are available here
