EPSO/AST-SC/06/17

hello,

I will pass the assessment center in October but I need to practice Excel and Word. Not very good on it...do you know some good website to practice or even a private teacher who knows about the EU competitions ? I'm in Belgrade for the moment (but I'm belgian) and I can also move to Brussels or even better Budapest.

Many thanks for your help

Written test in the filed REA/TA/AD6/01/18

I got invited to the Specific competency test, otherwise listed as written test in the filed for the Research Programme Administrator position (REA/TA/AD6/01/18). 

I am somewhat confused what this test will be and how to best prepare for it. Is it a the case study? Something else? 

Thanks in advance!

EU Training AC in Spanish

Good morning!

I would like to know if EU Training has seminars and classrooms in Spanish related to the AC phase. I took the CBT tests in English and I passed the first phase, and now the E-tray and the AC will therefore be in Spanish, which is my mother tongue. it would be so nice if someone could help me out. I have no problems studying in English, but for sure doing the simulation of the interview, group exercise, study case and the oral presentation in Spanish would be way more useful.

Thank you in advance,

José

1. e-tray and how many questions?

2. IT competence test and how many questions?

3. drafting and what kind of topics are usualy suggested - how much we should present?

4.interview - any suggestions for preparation for it?

Thanks a lot to everybody,

 

 

MCQs

Hi 

E-tray scores.

Dear peers,

I have been practising for a while on the Arboreus E-tray exercises with 21 questions and I found them really difficult. I use to take around 70 minutes (max. allotted 50 m.) and never get more than 65%. Last year (my first attempt) I failed this exam with 24,90/ 40,00, pass mark 26,58. This year, in the lucky and unlikely case that I passed the CBT (my impression was bad), I am afraid I will fail again.

I jus wanted to know, how good are being your results so far...? Do you encounter the same problems as me..??

Case study test

Good afternoon,

Yesterday evening I finalised the Case study test and this morning when i opened the history there were one test that i immediately sent for evaluation. I didn't check the content but I opened it few minutes ago to see the result from the evaluation and it appeared that the test available was the one I did last week but not those from yesterday. I ended the test at about 11 pm.

I don't know why it disappeared. I pressed 'exam mode' last night as I wanted to see the results for it.

General competency-based interview: differences between AST and AD?

Hello,

I am invited for the assessment centre of an AST1 competition.

Does anybody have experience with the competency-based interview? So far I was preparing with the assessment centre book for AD competitions as I am also participating in those. But I wonder whether the questions for AST and AD are the same?

Thanks,

Claudia
