CBT scheduled in the middle of the night

Hi all,

This is a heads up for those of you scheduling epso exams.

Today I found out that the exam I had scheduled for (quote from my appointment confirmation) "03:00 Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris" was in fact 3 AM.

When I logged in at 3 PM the system refused to let me in because I missed my timeslot. When calling the helpdesk and EPSO, they blankly confirmed: "Yes, your exam was scheduled for 3 o'clock at night Brussels time". Well that is great, I have the afternoon off.

Working as CA in one EU institution - do you need to pass the CAST exam again if you move to another institution?

Hello!

I am working in an EU instituion as CA GF IV and I have been asked to pass the exam again if I want to move to another EU institution. Do you know if you need to sit the exam again? I find it very odd as already working as CA.

Thanks!

CBT frustration (seeking for tips)

Hello!

I have been preparing for the administrators' cbt for some time now but I am unable to go far beyond the passmark which makes me feel a bit unsafe about the end result. Has anyone else been in the same position or has any tips to share, beyond what's available online or in the eutraining book? I mostly suffer in abstracts (50%) but I hope to compensate with numericals (around 55-65%) and verbals (60%). But still it will be a close call.

Thanks in advance!

Difficulty to move up to FG III to FG IV

Does anyone has the same experience? Thank you for any potential feedback.

2 CASE STUDIES WITHOUT EVALUATION OR 1 WITH VALUATION?

I am about to purchase a sample case study and I am wondering which is more usefull. Two case studies without evaluation (2835=70Euroes) oe one case study with evaluation (65Euroes)?

I suppose the case study with evaluation is a complete test, isn't it?
