Problems visualizing percentage of correct questions

Hi there, as of today the system won't show the final percentage of my tests. Although I take my tests correctly with a percentage included between 50 and 80%, the system gives me 0%. Anyone can help me fix this problem?

Thank you very much, Daniela

AD5 translation search online

Hello!

I wanted to ask if someone is aware whether we can search online during the tests or not. I am speaking mostly for the translation and the revision part. Since no dictionaries are allowed I was wondering if searching a term online is allowed.

Thank you in advance!

TestWe - Prerequisite Test

Unfortunately, at the very last part of the prerequisite test before uploading the exam a notification pops up with an error that exam can't be prepared. I done the prerequisite test from two laprops (hp & lenovo) and the problem persists. Anyone have encountered same issue? and what shall I do in due time for next week testing. Thanks!

Toilet break during TestWe exam?

Nowhere does it say what to do if I get a call of nature... 

Fair enough, the exams are short(ish), and any sensible person will pee themselves dry before taking the exam, but still - I can see it happening.

What's the protocol?

WRITTEN TEST - What to expect?

Hello, is my first EPSO exam.

I am looking for some guidance on the Written Test.

We have received a document of 68 pages.

Will there be one or more questions? 

What is an example of question, e.g. what is Horizon EU?

 

Thanks for any help, and good luck to all applicants :-)

TestWe with a desktop PC? How???

Today I did the TestWe "preparatory" exam, in which I had to pick up the computer and record a video of the room, under my desk etc. Except my PC is a desktop PC and I can't really do that. Nowhere does it say in the instructions that your PC should be a laptop. 

So, now I've submitted the preparatory exam for marking. Obviously they'll "fail" me because they can't see under my desk. 

Lawyer-Linguist Reserve List February

Good evening, Does anyone from Lawyer-Linguist Competition whose Reserve List started in mid February knows anything about epso? Merci. 

Time allotted for each reasoning question

Hi everyone,

I just received the Testwe email and in the instructions it says that the time allotted for each question in particular is not cumulable with the time for the next questions. As I recall, the pass points for the reasoning questions are 22 out of 40 altogether, so in this case does anyone know why the 10 verbal reasoning questions, for example, dont't get 18 minutes altogether? If I did not misunderstand of course...

Many thanks and good luck!

EPSO Permanent CAST Reasoning Tests for Function Group IV

Hi all,

To apply to a job opening as a scientific officer for ERC, I was asked to create an application for Permanent CAST profile (EPSO CAST) at FG IV level. The ERC's HR informed me that I will have to take a EPSO Permanent CAST Reasoning Tests in Function Group IV. Would the verbal reasoning test be in English or in the first language I added in the application for the Permanent CAST profile? Unfortunately, the first language I added was Romanian (my native language) but the Romanian texts in the tests are not very well written, and I would liketo take it in English.

Written test - search option

Hello,

Do you know if it is possible to search words in the document during the exam in TestWE?

Thank you.
