Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 05/28/2015 - 09:08

finally the results are known ... I got 33/40 ... I don't konw if it's enough... :(

kiki Thu, 05/28/2015 - 09:49

only 29/40... Disappointed from the verbal reasoning!

Mi Thu, 05/28/2015 - 09:56

Dissapointed as well.... 32/40 :(

leon81 Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:06

What do you think, for your experience, the minimum score required colud be?

Mi Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:09

As there are only 30 places on a reserve list and so many people competed I think it will take more than that.. Maybe 36/37. I hope I'm wrong...

Nida Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:10

I am disappointed as well 34/40, verbal did not go well for me:( I think the passing score will be around 36, at least that is my guess, but also depends how strict they will be on the experience, if they will take only people who have experience in EP, then the mark will be lower, but for me it won' t matter then....

leon81 Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:16

haw many candidates will be admitted to the talent screener (the maximum number i mean)? i cannot find it in the competition notice!

mokomes Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:21

I found that not more than 3 times as many as there are places on a reserve list.. So to 90 I think.

dana Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:23

leon81haw many candidates will be admitted to the talent screener (the maximum number i mean)? i cannot find it in the competition notice!

600 candidates... so I suppose the minimum score will be lower than usual

leon81 Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:28

90 are the candidates admitted to the ac after talent screening..... dana thank you! did you find it in the competition notice?

kiki Thu, 05/28/2015 - 10:34

I think that the decisive factor is the talent screener... Many people will be excluded because they lack the relevant experience or they did not fill the talent screener as expected from the selection board, so the threshold will be low...

Serena Thu, 05/28/2015 - 11:19

Hello everybody, I agree with Kiki. All depends on the talent screener now.
If I got it right, once passed to the next step, there's the case study before the assessment center. 600 people should be admitted to the case study as mentioned in the first EPSO communication received on 20/01/2015.
Fingers crossed!

leon81 Thu, 05/28/2015 - 11:34

i don't think so.....the case study is a part of the AC (even if it will take place in the member states instead than in bruxelles)...so first 600 candidates have to be admitted to the talent screener and then the first 90 with the better scores will go to the case study (in the member states) and the ac in bruxelles....

kiki Thu, 05/28/2015 - 11:37

Yep, I think this is the case...

Serena Thu, 05/28/2015 - 12:00

Thanks Leon81 for the explanation!

dana Thu, 05/28/2015 - 13:58

leon8190 are the candidates admitted to the ac after talent screening..... dana thank you! did you find it in the competition notice?

No, that was mentioned in one of EPSO s messages. You should find it in your Epso account.
"Candidates with the best scores in the computer-based admission tests (and at least the pass marks) who fulfil the general and specific eligibility criteria will proceed to selection based on qualifications (see Section V of the Notice of Competition). The number of files to be examined at this stage will be 600."

Nida Thu, 05/28/2015 - 14:12

Yeah, but it means 600 files will be examined and then the best 90 candidates from those 600 will proceed to the AC....

leon81 Fri, 06/05/2015 - 08:36

Maria Thu, 07/02/2015 - 10:53

Hi there,
I was wondering, does anyone have any idea of when will the results of the talent screener be published? I tried to ask this on the EPSO blog but I see that my question has not been considered yet...
The same question goes for the results of the CBT tests for Assistants - Administrative field. I wonder why is it taking so long...

Nida Tue, 07/07/2015 - 11:14

The results for parliamentary assistants are finally out! Minimum score in the talent screener 61.

Frenchie Tue, 07/07/2015 - 14:34

I got 41/72, not enough :)

b.rossi Fri, 07/10/2015 - 15:25

Hi,
Would anyone be interested in practicing for the written test and for the AC?
In this case please contact me at b.rossi11@yahoo.com

Hi, unfortunately I got 50/61 and was not admitted to the talent screener. However I got the maximum number of points on most of the questions but I got 0 on one question and 1 on two others. I really don't understand why because I answered to all questions thoroughly and I really think that I should have gotten a better score. At this point it's not that important that I didn't pass, but at least I would like to understand why I got 0 on that question.
I consulted the rules to find out if I can request for a review but it seems that we can only do that if there is a material or administrative error...so there is actually no way we can contest their evaluation, is that right? Can anyone help me with some advice?
Thanks
