Computer for TestWe

Hello all,

I have downloaded TestWe on my laptop and launched it by connecting with my credentials.

After checking the interface, I think that my laptop's screen is too small and I'd prefer to sit the text on my PC.

Is it okay if I download the app and connect again from a second computer? I haven't run the prerequisite technical test yet, as I want to do it from the computer I will actually use on the day of the test.

Thank you in advance!

Numerical test feedback

After today's exam, I would like to address the issue of tools provided as part of the numerical test.

The method of using the place for taking notes (pdf scratchpad, etc.) is unclear, unintuitive, requires several clicks, and has to be repeated for each question. Given the amount of time given for each question, this is an additional, completely unnecessary complication. 

Points deducted for wrong answer in reasoning tests?

Hello all!

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a deduction of points per wrong answer in any of the reasoning test (abstract, numerical or verbal) for the AD5 Translators competition? For example, say you chose the wrong answer in one question, they will deduct 0.25 from the points you score in the questions you answer correctly.

Thank you so much in advance!

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.
