Hello everyone,
I have a question: the notice of competition for the competition EUIPO/AD/01/17 - AD 6 - Administrators in the field of intellectual property states that there will be a "written test" on the first day ("written test and e-tray in your second language"). It is mentioned together with the e-tray exercice. Despite my efforts to find out what kind of exam this is I have not found any useful information yet (neither online, including in this forum, nor in the text books).
Does anyone know and give me a shout?
Thank you and best regards,
Christian
Dear Christian,
Dear Christian,
You may expect the written test to last about one hour, using PC keyboard.
The topics are normally related to general EU policies (such as environmental protection, lifelong learning), not intellectual property. It is important to note that this test is supposed to measure primarily your written reasoning skills, not your knowledge of the specific field or even general EU policies.
You may expect to be given some pages of background information with data. You need to carefully study the information and instructions. Normally, you are asked to prepare a comprehensive note to your superior on the topic, possibly also asking you to indicate options, advantages, and disadvantages. It is important that you structure your note well, write in a clear, intelligible language and reflect that you understood the text and the instructions.
We hope this information helps your preparation. Good luck with the exam!
David
