EPSO COMPETITIONS

Hi everyone, 

does anyone have any advice about an upcoming competition for building specialists AD7?

Thanks

In the AD5 translation test, what if there's a word I simply don't know? I can't use dictionaries of any kind, online or in print.

I've been translating in the private sector for twenty years, but every day I still learn a new word or two. So it's entirely possible this will happen. Is there a protocol, and if so, what is it?

TIA,

Colin

Hello, it's not clear to me whether we need to upload the language certificates by April 10 in order to prove we meet the minimum required level for L2 and L3. This being a competition for translators, aren't successful candidates clearly good enough with languages?

Thanks, davide  

I can't seem to find this specific information anywhere. 

Yesterday, March 6 2025, I did two "batches" of tests. 

Batch 1 - (a) language knowledge, (b) verbal reasoning, (c) numerical reasoning, (d) logical reasoning. 

My question is: is the pass mark calculated for the entirety of Batch 1 (a, b, c, d) or do I have to pass each one individually?

Then Batch 2 was the long article followed by the 12 multiple choice questions, which I'm already sure is marked separately. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello

anyone have an idea as to the length, i.e. how many words, of the text for translation and for review?

Hi everyone.

So, I have just finished my first round of tests for EPSO/AD/416/24 and I couldn't answer six questions for the numerical reasoning part. Now I'm a bit confused about whether it's worth doing the translation and the revision tests since the notice says that those will be scored only if I pass the exam for the numerical and abstract reasoning tests. Since I'm sure I didn't get a maximum score for the abstract part either, is it safe to say that I have failed the whole thing already?

Hello

the supporting documents linked with the EPSO application should be in English or can they be in our native language (one of the EU-27)?

Hey all,

I have been experiencing issues and have been unable to complete the technical verification on TestWe. I do all the sounds and camera testing and when I launch the test a blue screen shows and after that if I don't force quit my computer I cannot do anything, not even closing the TestWe app. I have wrote to the technical service and they haven't been able to provide a solution other than "use another laptop".

For context I am using a 2016 Macbook Pro (Os Monterrey 12.7.6) and I have more than the necessary RAM and memory on the HD. 

Good morning,

According to the competition page for EPSO/AD/419/24, there are 3763 applicants, for the selection of 1177 successful candidates

There are 8 languages sought (DA, EL, EN, ES, FR, IT, MT and NL). Is the distribution of the posts (i.e. the numbers or percentage of candidates allocated per each language) public or known?

Thank you

Hello, I hope someone can help me with very serious technical issues I'm having with the TestWe app.

I'm working on a Dell PC with specs well above the minimum requirements indicated by TestWe. I disable AV & Firewall prior to running the app.
