If you pass the reasoning test but not the rest, do you have to retake it for every competition?

Hello,

I was wondering if one's passed the reasoning test for one competiton (let's say for an AD6 permanent position) but failed the rest and then apply for one AD5 competition, does them have to retake the full test or EPSO will let them skip the reasoning test part? Some time back I read that you could keep the result of the reasoning test for a while, but I wonder if now that they test everything on the same day you have to retake each part anyway. 
If anybody knows about this it would be great! Thanks

Problem with EPSO account

Hallo everyone!

It seems that there is a major problem when trying to access my account in EPSO. 

There is an error message when trying to see the vacancy list. 

Everything else is visible (e.g. profile, contact details, uploading CV etc). 

Has anyone faced the same issue? 

I 've sent an email to EPSO, however I did not get an aswer. 

 

 

CAST Tests Language issue

Hello! I have been invited for the EPSO CAST tests (verbal, numerical etc) which is good news. However, I'm not sure in which language will I be tested.

In my application, I have put English as my first language at a proficient level and French at a basic level. I thought that the tests are only in English but I'm now panicking what if they are in French and I won't be able to take them. Can you please help me understand how this works? I've started the preparation but in the same time I'm quite worried. Thanks a lot!

Why so many competitions are postponed what is happening in EPSO?

I checked a couple of competitions  (I'm doing transport) I was wondering how big a problem they are facing.

Seems like multiple tests are postponed and will not take place earlier than February.  In my understanding, they blame the outer contractor (the company who made the software where the tests are). 

 

What are your thoughts?  I heard the testing platform is slow and laggy, and the calculator won't work properly.

Notepad Numerical CBT

Good morning to all. I have a question about the way the Numerical - CBT test is organised and more specifically concerning the notepad where we can write during the exam.

From what I understand it is not allowed to use paper for writing and instead we need to use a note pad on the screen (the same as the calculator).

In the numerical exercises I bought from eutraining I only see the calculator on the screen. Could you please let me know about the notepad? It is important to get used to it as well. 

Thank you
