    Me too but I'll be on holidays. Hopefully they'll let me do it another day.

    Got email today after 2pm saying I had surpassed the pass mark but I have not been selected to supervised testing at this time but may be called in the future.

    Actually it's really nice of them to even keep me in the competition seeing as I missed the deadline to do the exam twice.

    I rang recruitment yesterday and all the positions to be filled are county based. Never thought to ask how many positions they are going to fill in total.

    What do you mean by 'county based'? Nothing for the county hall like?

    Apparently not. First he told me positions were only for county hall but he needed to clarify with a supervisor, then got back to me and said none for county hall just around the county. He still didnt sound 100% though so if you want to try ringing you might get more clarification.

    To those who have been called for supervised assessments..... Is it Thursday you have been called for? Just wondering is it one day or more it's going on for?

    I'd say 45 mins. I assume that they will supply a calculator?

    I didn't get to finish either of them. Could have done with a few more minutes. I feel the same. Couldn't say either way how it went. I felt the numerical test was easier that the verbal reasoning.

    It was ok I guess. So hard to say how it went. Didn't finish either of them so I'm not going to get my hopes up!

    It's hard to know what they're looking for. I'm not going to get my hopes up either. Either way I'm looking forward to finding out how I did. It'll be a long few weeks waiting....... The very best of luck to everyone!!

    They were ok. I found it strange that it was the same questions again though.

    I managed to finish both sections and was going through double checking answers when the time ran out.
