Had my interview today, dont think it went all too great tbh but it's done now.

Does anyone have an idea of how long it usually takes to find out if you passed or not?

I had my interview too this morning. Found it quite tough. I'd say the results will be out fairly quickly given the sudden speed of everything.

I found it very though, really struggling for answers. Bit depressed after that.

Sorry to hear that, I think most of us are feeling the same, very tough going indeed.

Sounds like you had a tough panel, doesn't always mean they'll be tough on you with the scoring you've probably done better than you think. Were they throwing questions at you that you weren't prepared for? Interrupting a lot?

Do you know if many fail?

Sixofone

Lots of interruptions. I didn't seem to be answering questions properly. Closing questions off before I had fully answered. Just felt a bit rushed and disjointed.

That's fairly normal - I wouldn't over analyse it. You probably gave them the answer they wanted so they cut you off and moved on.

Exactly the same, it threw me off as I hadnt finished half of the competencies I had prepared.

Did you ask how long? I didn't as I forgot, and I did not remember them mentioning it

He said next few weeks, I would guess its tomorrow as the panel is due to expire soon.

So they must be processing people as they go along.

Generally you just sign a declaration to say you're fit.

I dont know to be honest, It was a weird format, Not the same as any other CS interview iv done to date.. was definitely a rush. They didnt seem to stick to the competencies... It was very odd

Its frustrating not knowing when.

Was definitely holding out hope that we'd hear before going through the process of the 2020 one.
