Go back to the ALJ discussion forum front page. Instead of picking General Discussions look a little further down and pick the Polls thread. Hope this helps.

When you check the polls, keep in mind that not everyone who got a score participates in this blog and not everyone who partipates in the blog with a score has posted it. It's a general idea of where you have landed, certainly nothing official from OPM and not very scientific but better than nothing.

Its probably as good as most political polsters outside of Nate Silver.

Took a night off after a particularly tough trial. No email, no computers. Checked my email this morning and was pleased to be moving on. Sure the number is not that high and my GAL is limited, but from what I have read here, I feel like I still have a chance. It feels good to have gotten this far and I will try to wait patiently for the next step.
Good Luck to all.

Made the register! I thought I had blown the testing (LBMT especially), so I'm really pleased.
My score is nothing to write home about; average for this board according to the poll. My GAL is only about 25 cities (fairly popular ones) and I'm a rank outsider. So I'm still very much a longshot. But still alive, whee!
Good luck to all.

I made it too. Does anyone know how you are next notified about certs? Would that come from the agency directly to your email?

Did anyone else have a reference in their NOR email to the date their eligibility expires? Do we know what the significance is of that date? Is it firm or flexible?

Very flexible...

Does anybody else's GAL appear truncated? Mine is about 30 cities shorter than I put in. Just checked, my GAL on the email is exactly what I submitted.

Thanks Agilitymom, because the NOR states my eligibity expires December 2015! My hope is that is when they extend the register, it is considered a 'refresh' and I can expand my GAL at that time. Is there any chance of that, especially for the first time the register is set to expire?

Mine says my eligibility expires 12/20/2015. That appears to be exactly two years after OPM changed our statuses to "Complete" or "See Details."

I believe that is the expiration date. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) everyone's is set to expire 12/20/15, two years after our statuses changed. I believe it can be extended, so it is not fixed.

I got a notice that my written demonstration test did not meet the minimum required score. I am an experienced judge and my colleagues scored 75 and higher. Any idea what IMWD means and how to appeal? Is there any possibility of prevailing on appeal? I don't know what "IMWD" means, but apparently an additional email re: appeals, etc.,, is coming to all of us. (including those who got a score).

The date is NOT fixed, the last register had extensions of the expiration date. Whether to expect a refresh, and when, is hard to predict at this point, but it may not correspond with that date.

Do any of you know if any ALJ was successful in the past in appealing a disqualifying score on the written demonstration test? Just wonder if it is worth the trouble to appeal. Thanks and congratulations to everyone who made the cut!

I got mine. I'm relieved that I passed. My geographic area was greatly reduced from my application.
