Hi, does anyone have an idea on when testing (LBMT, WD,SI) will end. I know some are scheduled for the first week in October, but are people scheduled into October???

If I recall correctly, and I don't know on which thread, I think we had someone in the second week of October.

Ok cool, I think that may be our latest date. I know everyone is not on this board, but maybe that is close to the end!

Look at the Room 1350 thread. Sealaw posted that testing is going through 10/20. I believe that most of the late testers are people who needed to be rescheduled.

Probably right, though they've put a lot of the resets into slots vacated by someone else, so I suspect there was a lot of swapping going on. I had to ask for a reset on mine just recently, and it was pushed back only a week. I'm betting the later dates will have smaller numbers, possibly, because they had to add some dates when they couldn't accommodate all the resets by swapping. |

The OPM proctor told me that, so I am fairly confident in that date. However, Observer53 is probably right - the numbers may dwindle, so any test takers who can report numbers for their test day would be appreciated. Finally, we've always got 10-point prefernce veterans who can schedule to take the test anytime who may bump up the numbers, but I assume they won't stop the scoring process for the bulk of Phase 3 testers.

Sounds like October 20, or around there, testing will wrap up. Anyone think they are scoring as we go....or do you think they will score only after everyone is done?

The invitation we received to Phase 3 said: "Applicants who complete and meet the criteria for all three assessments will be notified of their final ratings when all applicants have completed these assessments." So we certainly won't be NOTIFIED of scores until everyone's been tested. Whether OPM will start the grading PROCESS before everyone's been tested is anyone's guess; I don't think we know. In any event, the conventional wisdom on this board seems to be that scores will come out for everyone at the same time; probably in the November - January timeframe. Good luck.

I think January is closer to the mark. Running into the holidays will lengthen the process. The LBMT won't take time to grade, the SI's I assume are "graded" on the day but then have to be processed by OPM, but the WD will take some time.

I'm pretty sure part of the testing is being scored as we go, although not all parts necessarily are. I disagreeumption is based on some publicly available info I came across when I started prepping for DC. And yes, I'm being purposefully vague.

I'm gonna miss your disagreed pitons (that's my autocorrect's attempt at correcting your disagreeumptions, lol) when we aren't on here anymore! |

Let's hope you stay on the Board even after you become an ALJ or even if you don't. |

Unfortunately those who have requested accommodations have yet to receive test dates. I assume we will be tacked on to the end of the process, but still waiting.

I know of a few others in the same position and I think we are all harassing the Helpdesk daily at this point. |
