During the course of the FREE 2018 EPSO AD Information Webcast a number of questions were raised by participants about the 2018 EPSO Administrators Generalists (AD5) (EPSO/AD/356/18) competition. We have collected these questions and have provided answers in this article.

In the very first episode of our numerical reasoning explanations video series we discuss the role decimal places in the context of apples. Watch this entertaining 4 minutes long video to refresh your knowledge on decimal places and to add another preparation tool to your library!

When taking your EPSO numerical reasoning tests you need to be quick and accurate, well… accurate within reason. You need to be accurate in the method that you choose to solve the problem and you also need to be accurate in the arithmetical procedure that you use to obtain the desired answer. But how accurate do you need to be?

In talking to Online EU Training users, one of the main requests we hear is for explanations for numerical reasoning tests to be much more detailed. We are here to report that we are already working on this! Our current explanations, while containing all the essential information to be able to answer the test questions correctly, are quite short - usually 3 or 4 sentences in a single paragraph.

In this part of EU Training's methodology tips, let's look at a typical problem in EPSO numerical  tests: the use (or confusion) of percentages and percentage points... or in other words, how not to compare apples to organges?

Are you also terrified by the thought of taking the verbal/numerical reasoning test? Most EPSO-test candidates feel the same way, though it can be your best friend, as long as you know how to handle them. Why? Because these questions don't require any specific knowledge but rather a skill that you can practice and master in the course of your preparation. Being familiar with all these little tricks will help you pass this test with ease.

As many of you already know and as discussed in last month’s Tips & Tricks article, EPSO is completely revamping its selection procedures, starting from 2010. We have been getting a growing number of questions from the Online EU Tests community regarding our plans to offer Europe’s best services for your EPSO exam preparation needs. Good news: our team has been working hard for months to get ready for the new system: from early 2010, we will gradually introduce new services and packages to help you prepare for those “strange” new components of the EU career exams.
