    Did worse in the verbal than the numerical which surprised me as I thought the opposite. Overall total score of 1200 which I'm delighted with. That gave me a single digit OOM in my county.

    Hopefully I'll get called to interview quickly enough although the HEO opportunities where I am are few and far between so I'll have to excel at the interview and presentation to stand a chance of an actual placement.

    So relieved to have passed. My partner got her results around 30 minutes ago so I've frantically been hitting refresh on my email and just got the results.

    This was 3rd time doing HEO exams and these ones were the hardest by a long way.

    We will see what the next stage brings.

    Results out in our house. The boss got top 20 in OOM fo Meath. I picked dublin and got High 600s. Delighted we both passed as we both thought we failed, but sick I didn't pick Meath also. I had the higher score by over 100 more. Congrats to all those who passed. Hard Luck and don't give up to all who failed. Your time will come some day.

    Is that your total score or your OOM? I got a similar total score myself. I'm doubtful my OOM will be reached but mostly I'm amazed that I passed numerical!

    Congrats on passing :)

    Congrats to everyone who passed and hard luck to everyone who didn't. Another competition will come around sooner than later. Somehow managed to pass the numerical and even got a better score than verbal even though found numerical much tougher. Got a high ranking in terms of number for my county so not even sure if I'll ever be called.

    Very well done, that's an excellent result. Especially the maths.

    I had 456 for verbal and 505 for numerical. Just over 1,000 in the OOM.

    Just as an FYI, as I noticed a few people mentioning this, but the panel is only for a year.

    Plus it states our OOM will change once shortlisting is completed!

    So are they short listing again based on applications? Is it possible to not get to interview even if you have a good oom based on the exams?

    Shortlisting

    The number of applications received for a position generally exceeds that required to fill existing

    and future vacancies. While a candidate may meet the eligibility requirements of the competition,

    if the numbers applying are such that it would not be practical to interview everyone, the Public

    Appointments Service may decide that a smaller number will be invited to the next stage of the

    selection process. The Public Appointments Service provide for the employment of a shortlisting

    process to select a group who, based on an examination of the application forms, appear to be

    the most suitable for the position. This is not to suggest that other candidates are necessarily

    unsuitable or incapable of undertaking the job, rather that there are some candidates, who based

    on their application, appear to be better qualified and/or have more relevant experience. During

    shortlisting, an expert board will examine the application forms against agreed shortlisting

    criteria which are based on the requirements of the position. The standard of content of each

    application submitted may also be assessed during this process. The shortlisting criteria may

    include both essential and desirable criteria specified for the position and, it is therefore in your

    own interest to provide a detailed and accurate account of your qualifications/ experience in your

    application. The onus is on candidates to complete the application form fully and accurately.

    In the case of competitions that may involve large numbers of candidates, candidates may be

    ranked on the outcome of their online assessment tests and will be shortlisted in accordance

    with their ranking. Applicants must successfully compete and be placed highest, to be

    considered for advancement to the next stage of the multistage selection process. The number

    to be invited forward at each stage will be determined from time to time by the Public

    Appointments Service.

    Spoke to PAS this afternoon just prior to the release of the results and they said the next stage is shortlisting - does that mean that the POM we have now will change?
