Executive Officer 2024 Competition (Nationwide)

Around 2.5 hours including some breaks

just been approved for me took about 40ish mins!

Is it possible to start tests tonight and finish the rest of them tomorrow or do I need to do them all together?

Did 3 out of the 4 tests there, they were grand. Written one is left but it's freaking me out. What exactly are they looking for here? Anything I should read up on/prep to make it easier to stomach?

Phew!! Literally just finished the Written Test with exactly 500 words and 1 second left on the clock 😂 Talk about sailing close to the wind 😬 Anyway, I think I did fairly well, although the majority of what I wrote was answering the first question, my response to the 2nd questions was fairly broad and more my opinion as opposed to specific experiences but it seemed appropriate so I hope they are OK with it.

For anyone who has yet to do it and is nervous, just know that there isn't anyway that you can study or prepare for this one other than being familiar with the capabilities and understanding how they pertain to the way one should manage others, I didn't have time to go back and re-read them even though they are there so making sure you feel comfortable with the gist of them is your best bet.

I don't find the other tests too hard except that I am Neurodivergent so we struggle with multiple choice answers anyway as we would generally answer "well it depends" to everything 😅 I do find the numerical ones annoying as they are less a test of your maths skills and more a test of your ability to analyse the data and decide what maths to use to determine the answer but there are often too many words and it seems they are trying to trip you up which given the time constraints seems unfair and not like a real world situation.

And anyone yet to do their tests, do it in the morning before you start work, get up earlier if you have to, don't leave it until the evening as your brain is more tired then.

Anyhoo, we shall see, fingers crossed and good luck everyone 🤞🤞🤞😊

When will the results be out

Any confirmation on what exactly constitutes a pass in relation to the numerical assessment? I know for the practice tests it said something very low like 8/9 correct answers but wanted to see if that still stands.

If that’s the case I would say a lot of people on here who are stressed about passing might feel a bit at ease if that is how low the pass mark is!

i was talking to myself and counting for the room scan. Mortifying. But I'd dance on camera to get a promotion right now. 😅🤣
