Testing Times

 Here’s a message from our friends in the Civil Service . It’s  a chance to practice online recruitment tests, which is very useful whatever career you are thinking of. Be quick: the deadline to participate is 30th June.

Call for volunteers – Exciting Online Test Practice Opportunity. Do you need to sit online recruitment tests as part of your job applications? Would you like the chance to practise taking some real recruitment test questions? If so, read on!

You are invited to volunteer to take part in our test development trial. The trial will cover the following three content areas:

  • Civil Service Verbal Reasoning
  • Civil Service Numerical Reasoning
  • Civil Service Situational Judgement

These will be used to recruit future civil servants and your participation will help to shape the future Civil Service. The trial questions are not timed but we recommend allowing approximately 1 hour to complete the trial. If you’d like to get involved, please select one of the following two job levels, based on the job level you would naturally consider making a job application for, to try out some practice test content:
