Good luck to everyone doing the e-tray. Only advice I can give is to use your time wisely.

From what I cam remember I didn't have any time left at the end.

Not really. I mean you probably can but the interview is quite busy/intense so you wouldn’t have time to be looking at anything. Best to review it well before the interview so that you’re familiar with what you wrote. I know, it was quite a while ago!

Didn’t we have to give some examples on the forms we filled out of examples of situations where we displayed competencies in previous roles?
I may be mistaken as I’ve applied to numerous positions in the past year!

Just curious about anyone who just did the etray practice. I have pretty decent internet but i found flicking between the tabs would bring up a spinning loading bar. Is this to simulate working with awful connections or was it my internet. The time continued to tick down during the spinning so it has me wondering. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

What browser are you using? I found a lot of issues were sorted by downloading Chrome.

Don't recall doing any competencies for my application. As you say it was a while ago so I may be wrong.

No competencies were added to the form, only work history and duties etc.

Thats the thing, I was using chrome. I'll double check everything before I start the exam. Has anyone taken it yet? I got the message this morning that it was available

Brillant. If I remember rightly you were OOM 7? I’m 13 hopefully will hear soon too. What do you have to provide? You can DM me if you prefer.

I took it this afternoon with no issues on Chrome as you described earlier.

Maybe try the familiarisation again and see if you are getting same issues.


There is a contact email for technical issues in the booklet and was given at the start of the test.

support@assessmentintelligence.com
including ‘EO Etray 1020' in the subject line

Hi
Is the familiarisation very different to the actual test.... I found it challenging enough

Whistledown

Well done. Which competition was that for?
