EPSO COMPETITIONS

Hi, I am considering applying to the AD5 Translator competition, but am worried about the lack of resources. The language test only has one sample, the Translations are the same ones used for Lawyer Linguists (and I doubt they will be necessarily of a legal nature), the revision sample is from English into Gaellic, so impossible for non speakers to discerns. Will EU Training provide or can give advice on how to prepare for these? Thanks

Hello, everyone, 

Just received an invitation for the Crisis Management test, which will take place in January (8th, to be more precise). 

Now, since I wasn't very hopeful of this invitation, as I had better expectations from other fields where I aplied, what could be the best sources to start preparing? The test materials will be uploaded only on December 18, so I don't think I will have too much time to study between Christmas and New Year's Eve. 

Any tips&tricks from people that have already taken an EPSO test? Ideally also for Crisis Management?

Hello everyone,

I am a candidate in the AST-3 competition, and I have been experiencing issues with the TestWe app.

Firstly, they sent me a prerequisite test titled Financial, even though my competition is Public Procurement. Secondly, despite following all the instructions in the app's user manual, I am unable to open the app—it only shows a blank window.

Good Morning,

In the AD7 specialist (Scientific research administrators) competitions there is a requirement "Have a scientific publication record consisting of a minimum of two peer-reviewed publications in which they have participated as an author, co-author, or contributor." Will this be the new norm for AD7 level competitions? What can be known about this?

Thank you for your advice.

Dear all,

Quick question. Does anyone know whether the NumPad on the keyboard works in the TestWe Platform rather than having to click the calculator manually with the mouse?

Good afternoon to everyone.

I would like to ask, if there are any news, based on your internal information and your experience, regarding the time of launching the Call for the AD5 Generalist Competition.

Does anybody have any info on the kind of questions that will be in the FRSTQ test for the upcoming Scientific research administrators (AD 7) competition?

Is there any plan to offer practice questions here on EUtraning?

Many thanks!

Hello,

Can someone kindly explain what is the case with the pass mark and the points of the test?

1) Is it correct that we need to have at least 10 of verbal reasoning and at least 10 more of numerical and abstract combined? If so, could I write, for instance, 0 in abstract and 10 in numerical and still pass? All combinations are acceptable?

2) Is the pass mark the same for FGIII and FGIV exams?
 

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
