New test provider - calculator and scratchpad

Hi,

As in understand that some tests may have now taken place using the new provider (CAST, translators),  TestWe, i was wondering if you know what the calculator looks like (Which commands does it have? parentheses? MS/MR? etc) and what the scrathpad looks like. 

thank you!

Problems using the calculator during the first stage exam

Last week I took the legal translator test, and during the first phase (numerical, reading comprehension and psychotechnical) I experienced the erratic functioning of the TestWe system currently used by EPSO.

Do you know what "General statistical methodology, including mathematical methods for official statistics" area (art. 3.3.2., (b) A. (i) ) could include? For me is a very general / broad /permissive eligibility condition for the professional experience.

New sample reasoning skills tests - Update on 24 May 2024 - Too easy

Hi everyone,

EPSO published the follwoing statement on their webiste:

Update on 24 May 2024: new sample reasoning skills tests (verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning skills selection tests) are already available on our website in English, French and German for AD (Administrators) competitions and in English and French for AST (Assistants) competitions. 

AD7 WRITTEN TEST TOPICS

They say:  It is therefore appropriate to replace it by a written test where the assignment is based on materials/documents already publicly available in 24 languages. The assessment will focus on written communication skills. The remaining modalities — scoring and duration — will be retained and are further clarified in the amending notice.

 

Any guesses what are these  already publicly available 

Epso exams - Notification period

Does anybody know roughly how much in advance of the exam applicants receive the invitation to the exam for Epso competitions? I imagine it will be at least 2 weeks in advance due to the written test requirements.

Transport EPSO/AD/410/23 All time applicants record?

Ridicilous number of applicants and only 80 get in to reserve list...

New application period 01/03/2024 - 09/04/2024 3935 To be honest this feels bit too much towards the number of open spots in reserve list 

I think EPSO and DG move should not accept so  wide range of different academic backgrounds. no sense that urban planners can be applicants 

This is just wide open for everyone from lawyers to architects to engineers to economics makes no sense.

Chance to get in looms in 1-2%....

Request for documents a good thing?

Hi, 

I recently got contacted by EPSO to provide more documentation for my past experience. It should clearly indicate my duties in some past experience. 

I participated in the IT Specialist Competition. The results should come out this month.

Do you believe this is a positive thing and I might have gotten into the reserve list?

Any feedback from past experecience people here?
