Preparation tools

During the course of the FREE 2018 EPSO AD Information Webcast a number of questions were raised by participants about the 2018 EPSO Administrators Generalists (AD5) (EPSO/AD/356/18) competition. We have collected these questions and have provided answers in this article.

So this year’s biggest EPSO exam just ended and you just realised that you want to become an EU Administrator? You didn’t pick the best timing, but despair not: here are five things you can do right now to start working toward that goal!

In this edition of our abstract reasoning guides we are going to talk about something that is a bit less on the methodological side of things and more on your innate ability to understand and solve abstract reasoning tests. Though with some practice you can develop your abstract reasoning skill to a point where only the most devious tests can be an obstacle, however, let’s not discount the importance of a skill you have from the get-go.

When taking your EPSO numerical reasoning tests you need to be quick and accurate, well… accurate within reason. You need to be accurate in the method that you choose to solve the problem and you also need to be accurate in the arithmetical procedure that you use to obtain the desired answer. But how accurate do you need to be?

Belive it or not - finding the correct asnwer for an abstract reasoning test item has its own methodolgy. Sure, you can construct the correct answer in your head, based on the rules you ought to find, then hope that there will be a matching answer option - or you can take it to the next level by understanding how answer options are created and how you can use this knowledge to enhance your chances of finding the correct answer (as well as your speed).
