E-tray Results Are Out! EPSO Graduate Administrators (AD5) Competition

EU Training

The European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) just released the greatly anticipated results for the 2019 EPSO AD5 E-tray Exam.

A BIG congratulations to those who made it through to the next phase of the competition!

Those candidates that scored 27.26/40 or higher in their E-tray Exercise will make it to the final round of the 2019 Administrators Generalists competition - the Assessment Centre.

This is slightly lower than last year's 28.1/40. 

It is anticipated that 294-368 candidates will be invited to the Assessment Centre as the official Notice of Competition states that "Approximately 2 times, but no more than 2.5 times, the number of successful candidates sought will be invited to take the tests at the Assessment Centre".

Remember the marks scored in the E-tray exercise will be combined with the scores of the Assessment Centre tests to give your overall competition score.

EPSO Assessment Centre Simulations...

Many candidates perform well below their potential at the Assessment Centre as they are in an unfamiliar environment where words, actions, and body language matter more than you would initially assume. Improving competencies takes time, dedication and self-practice. Focused heavily on the practical side of the EPSO exams rather than the theory, EU Training’s training sessions are designed to help calm nerves and to build candidates’ confidence by simulating EPSO test conditions before the real thing. These training sessions present the opportunity to meet face-to-face with our highly experienced assessors and to engage with other candidates without being ranked against them.

The focus could be on highlighting improvement opportunities, undertaking Competency Based Interview or Oral Presentation simulations, or discussing Case Study and Group Exercise strategies. The options are limitless, but one thing is for certain, you will enter the Assessment Centre with confidence and preparedness through our EPSO experts’ guidance.
