    Same in my batch. And I was told the qualifying score (41 for each question). But the qualifying score probably differs from batch to batch.

    Thanks, strange that they would release some results and not others. Not sure if it means anything as people on here who got results both were successful and not.

    I suppose all we can do is wait...

    I emailed them and they sent them through

    Well done. That's a score out of 300.
    I didn't get through which I wasn't surprise about tbh! Best of luck to all that got through.

    Is the competition being put on hold?

    As I've just received the following message on PublicJobs:

    I refer to your candidature for the above competition.

    Following your participation in Stage 2 Video Interview, candidates with a total score of 195 or higher have been invited to Stage 3 (e-tray). However, it is anticipated that all remaining successful candidates will be called to Stage 3 in early January 2021. Should we reach your place we will be in touch with you via your Publicjobs.ie messageboard.

    An invitation to attend any part of the selection process is not to be taken as implying that the Public Appointments Service is satisfied that such a person fulfils the eligibility of the post.

    hmm does this mean that the won't go back to the original OOM (from first lot of exams) to bring forward a Dublin batch 3 for some time? :( I thought at the speed it was moving that we might be called Halloween/ Xmas,

    They may well start on batch 3 Dublin before finishing out the process with the current batch. They seem to be trying to have small groups at each stage of the process this time.

    Just got this message:

    As outlined to you previously Stage 3 of the selection process will comprise an online simulation exercise in the form of an e-tray.
    Whereby you had been notified that you would be called in early January 2021, you are now being called to complete Stage 3 from the 17th November 2020.

    Had gotten pretty comfortable with putting it out of my mind until January!

    I'm the same, I had thought I could park it mentally until after Christmas but at least with e-trays you can't do much in terms of practice so it's just a matter of getting it done now!

    Unless there are practice tests available online that I'm not aware of! As joptestprep.co.uk is great for the psychometric tests but I can't find any Civil Service Specific E-Trays for AP

    Hi does anyone know what is involved in this E-Tray? Is there a brief/report to write by a certain time while answering correspondence? or what? I've only ever done an E-tray for the EO role.

    If I could give you one tip, have a super quiet house, be rested and do whatever focuses your mind (have a coffee, be fed and watered), turn off your phone and put it up under your pillow, no distractions whatsoever. Sit up straight, you'll definitely need a mouse, read everything carefully and maybe make a list on paper of your priority tasks if you have time - and time will be of the essence. Best of luck!

    Hi Hannah. Best of luck to you in your new job. Are the OOM's you quote regarding your original order of merit or the order of merit after you did your final interview? Thanks
