Use of score

Ranking among candidates who pass

That works out at 80 seconds per question. Because the score ranks you as well as passing you, speed has real value.

How the pages divide

Each paper takes every third item from the bank, so all eleven duty clusters stay proportionally represented. The four pages together contain all 100 items, each exactly once.

How to use it

  1. Sit a paper under real conditions : 40 minutes, no notes, no pausing.

  2. Answer every question. There is no negative marking.

  3. Open the answers only once you have finished, and tally your score.

  4. Note which cluster each wrong answer came from. Two or more errors in one cluster is a signal, not noise.

Correct answers are spread evenly across A, B, C and D : 25 each across the bank. Guessing by letter position earns nothing.
