It's time to blast back into action.
Today the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) release the Pre-Selection exam results for the 2018 EPSO AD5 competition. While EPSO has not released the official cut-off score yet it appears that those that got 49 and higher in their Pre-Selection exams will make it to the next round of the Administrators Generalists competition.
Congratulations to all those candidates that successfully made it through to the intermediate stage of the EPSO AD5 competition!
KEY DATES:
E-tray Exercise Booking Period: 26 September - 3 October 2018
E-tray Exercise Testing Period: 15 - 19 October 2018
Now that you’ve made it to the next round, it’s time to start practicing for the E-tray Exercise. The competition is going to be fierce since only 316-395 candidates will make it past this point to the Assessment Centre. Plus, you only have four weeks to prepare before the E-tray exams start on 15 October, 2018.
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.
E-tray Exercise Simulations
All of our existing practice E-tray exercises which simulate the actual EPSO E-tray exams, have been fully reviewed and updated to match the changes imposed by EPSO last year. In addition to our existing E-tray simulations, we have added 7 NEW practice E-tray Exercises to our database! Of these 3 have been translated into French as well.
This means that EU Training now has 20 EPSO E-tray practice simulations on offer! ...and you can buy them all in one go via our E-tray Super Bundle.
Those candidates that have used our E-tray simulations in the past will be pleased to know that not only do you have seven brand-spanking-new E-tray Exercises to practice with, but any E-tray simulations that you purchased/completed in the past have been fully updated in your account with the extra scenarios and content. These updates can be seen in your EU Training account's Practice History when you "Retake" a previously completed E-tray practice exam.
As with the Pre-Selection exams, regular and consistent practice really does make a big difference in increasing your speed and efficiency. That's why we recommend you do a few E-tray simulations to get familiar and proficient with this exam.
