Civil service interview scores?

[havingagoodday]

Does anyone know what the civil service application scores are out of?
I can see what I've scored, but I'm curious what it's out of.
Personal statement I scored 4.
Interview I scored 30.
Verbal and judgement test I scored 52% and 85%.
I've been offered the job, but I'm curious as to what the other scores are out of.

For behaviours it's out of 7, experience too I believe, for strengths it's out of 4.

So for interview it'll depend the type of question and how many of them. 4 out of 7 is usually the pass rate assuming there isn't an exorbitant amount of applicants, they can raise the threshold if so.

It was a strength based interview and I scored 30? I can't remember how many questions there were, possibly 8 or 10? So I perhaps scored 3s and 4s for each question.

I've just googled and apparently it's 9 questions. So I'm guessing I scored 3s and 4s. I think each question was out of 4.
So I got 30 out of 40.

Congratulations on the role

Thank you.
I've heard security clearance can take 4-6 months and we'll have Christmas in the middle of that, so I'm not expecting to go anywhere soon!

Yes it can take a while depending on the level of clearance!

4 is the pass mark for statements, but unless they higher the pass mark to 5 or 6 (which they can if get too many to interview with 4’s) then it doesn’t matter as 4 gets you through to the next round. We don’t even see the statements when interviewing, or application forms most of the time (I do when helping out in an ex colleagues dept but not my dept) so your aim is to get an interview. 3’s and 4’s is good for strengths, you must have had high engagement for all as high engagement gets you a 3 or 4!

well done. Yes the security is so slow. I joined 21yrs ago and it was 6 months. It’s been even longer for our latest recruits then problems with admin meaning a bit longer to wait. They will let you know though when to hand in your resignation. Congrats! I personally really enjoy being a civil servant, it’s so flexible, supportive and I’ve made really good personal progress in my career too, so on a good salary now.

My security clearance ( last month) took 5 weeks

Was warned it could be a good 3 months
