Can you give us an approximate estimate on when the results for AD 235/12 EP/Council channel will be published? One of you previous blog posts was mentioning the end of June as the time of publishing.
Thanks in advance.

We apologize for the delay.
The final results are expected to be published during the second half of July.

DEar EPSO,
A question regarding the EPSO/AD/235/12 Croatian-Language (HR) Lawyer-Linguists AC exam. In the letter inviting me to the AC, i received a checklist of documents to bring with me to the AC on the exam day. Well, what I can’t find anywhere is the info on whether it needs to be translated in english if it is in another language.
Also, when it comes to supporting documents stating the professional training or experience, is it necessary to bring along contracts, pay slips or references of former employers? and is it ok to adjoin any of the other possible documents (eg. appraisal form signed by the employer that show the main duties and provides a mark obtained through the appraisal?
Thanks in advance!
Ante
May 24, 2013 @ 16:05:14
Dear Ante,
It would be very helpful if you could join a list in English, French or German of the documents. For further information on the supporting documents, please read the Guide to open competitions (chapter on Supporting documents): http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/eu-careers.info/administrators/administrators-2012/croatian-language-lawyer-linguists-2012/
Kind regards,

Dear EPSO,
After finishing the Assesment Centre testing in Brussels, I am checking the account regularly. There are two questions I have:
1. on the schematic of the advancement in the competition it is not visible that we have undergone the AC but only the invitation. Is it an expected thing and will it be emended once all the files have been verified?
2. When approximately can we expect the reimbursement of our travel and subsistence expenses for the trip to the AC?
I also read the indicative planning on the blog and it says that the 235/12 AD7 EP/Council channel will have a reserve list published by july 2013. is this a date to follow or changes will be made?
Thank you very much in advance.
Jun 18, 2013 @ 16:57:49
Dear Ante,
The EPSO account will indeed be updated once complete results are available.
For the reimbursement, I suggest you to contact the candidate contact service directly: https://europa.eu/epso/application/passport/webform.cfm?usertype=2&langsub=ok&lang=en&langsub=ok
The final results are indeed planned to be published in July 2013.
Kind regards,

Dear EPSO team,
I have been invited to the Assessment phase for the EPSO/AD/235/12 – Croatian-Language (HR) Lawyer-Linguists. In the Notice of Competition it states I should bring a diploma attesting language training. I only have language school certificate which is not a public document and is not entered in my employment certificate. I am wondering if that is enough or if I have to have a certified document?
May 17, 2013 @ 10:55:48
Dear Katarina,
The supporting documents must be official documents. It does not have to be ‘certified’ copies : regular copies (of the originals) are sufficient.
The Selection Board will evaluate if your certificate could be considered as sufficient.
Best regards,

Dear Epso,
I have a question about the verbal reasoning tests: what if there is a spelling or typing error in a text or in any of the statements? Should the statement be considered as incorrect and the piece of the text as void?
Thank you in advance,
Giorgio

Dear Epso Team,
During the schedule-time I am temporarily located in Germany thus I booked my test at a German Assessment Centre though I do not speak German. I wonder whether or not do I have to expect the tests (1st language) in my mother tongue anyway.
Many thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Alex
Mar 11, 2013 @ 15:15:37
Dear Alex,
You will sit the tests taking into account the language choice indicated in your application. It does not depend on the location of the test centre chosen.

Dear EPSO Team,
I booked my exam for today at 12.30 in Sesto San Giovanni, but I can’t reach the assesment center as my train has been cancelled (Frecciarossa 9608) and all the other trains from Bologna to Milan have a huge delay. The problem is an electric problem of all the railway. I ‘ve tried to reschedule the exam in my EPSO account but without success as it was permitted latest 48hours before the appointment.
What can I do now? I would like to reschedule the exam because I couldn’t reach the assessment center due to force majeure.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Kind regards,
Serena

Dear Madam/Sir,
I have one question regarding scoring. Sorry if it is a strange question, but I believe it is always better to ask.
On accuracy and precision test we have 40 questions and 6 minutes time. Do we get any points for the questions not answered? I was looking if it is better to spend the last minute randomly answering all remaining questions, instead of doing 3 or 4 more questions. However if we get 1/5 of the point for each question not answered, this strategy does not make any sense.
Also, are there negative points for wrong answers on the accuracy and precision test?
Thank you for the answer.
Feb 26, 2013 @ 16:29:46
Dear Marin,
You will get points only it the answer is correct. There is no negative scoring if the answer is wrong.
There is no score if there is no answer.
Best regards,
Marie – EU Careers
Feb 21, 2013 @ 19:23:09
Dear Epso,
I would like to know something about the entry tests. I do not remember the duration of each test, ie the numerical, reasoning, abstract tests etc.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards.
Patrizia
Feb 22, 2013 @ 14:45:26
Dear Patrizia,
Instructions with detailed information are available in the booking letter; the number of questions and timing is indicated. Please make sure to read them carefully.

Rosa
Feb 19, 2013 @ 08:50:24
I have a general comment too regarding applications.
Why is it necessary to always reintroduce all our educational and professional info for each new application.
That’s time consuming , while we could only update the data’s if needed?
Feb 19, 2013 @ 15:54:01
Dear candidate,
Each competition or selection procedure is separated.
Indeed, a new application form is therefore needed.
Best regards,
Marie – EU Careers
Feb 20, 2013 @ 06:41:49
Unfortunately, Marie’s / EPSO’s reply did not take any consideration of Sophie’s comment but merely confirmed the current situation.
I (and I believe many other candidates as well) would be interested to know WHY is necessary to always copy & paste already existing (CV) information in your database to a new application? This cannot be a technical reason – so why isn’t it possible to re-use and simply update entered information for a new competition? Maybe I / we are simply overlooking something. Would you therefore be able to provide further insight?
The public would certainly much appreciate a reply.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 09:05:08
Dear Jacob,
I can only confirm that this feature is currently not available and that we are working on an improved system including the requested feature.
We will keep candidates updated as soon as we have further news.
Kind regards,
Nathalie
Feb 19, 2013 @ 08:46:55

Bonjour:
J’ai trouvé quelques problèmes avec la procédure de réservation en ligne parce que la langue qui apparaît dans mon écran est l’anglais, pas le français ni l’espagnol (ma langue d’origine). Est-ce qu’il a quelque chose qui ne marche pas, ou je dois remplir le formulaire de réservation en anglais? En plus, il offre comme lieux d’examen GO ENGLISH ¿? et moi, j’avais enregistré comme deuxième langue le français, cela peut être une erreur? merci d’avant,
