Just received my notice to retake the test. Same as last year. Initial on-line test has to be done for me from 21 July to 1 Aug. Assuming I make it through that hurdle again, it's the DC proctored test - and, I'll be ready this time. Any other 10 pointers hear anything? Good luck to all. Awesome and good luck! Maybe this is why the official OMHA offers from OPM are not getting made - OPM is too busy getting the 10 point vets scheduled for their tests. Hopefully all will go well, you'll be placed on the register, and your name will show up on the next certificate for the city of your choice!

I plan on getting lots of sleep and really prepping for WD, the only potion I didn't do enough work on the first time. Let's do it.

I submitted my new test on Aug 1, which was the last day. Felt really good about the multiple choice and finished 8 minutes early. Probably too long winded on writing sample and didn't wrap it at the end, but probably fine. Assessment 3d portion is what it is. Haven't heard a peep about next round, but expect to hear in the next month. There aren't many of us 10 pointers taking the test. Good luck to all the retakers and to those going through the hiring process. I'll leave a note of if I hear anything on my test. God willing I make it again to the next level, I'll really prep and gets lots of sleep the night before, neither of which I did the first time. Good luck to you too, and keep us up to date!

Just got an email of advancement to phase II, again (just joking, happy to have another shot). Anyway, just posting for those who may be wondering (as I have been) what OPM is doing. The email states I have from September 2nd until the 13th to complete.

Took my online in the summer. Just got the email with the lead off "Congratulations" so I figured it was good. Going to DC. I hope I am ready. No word yet on the date.

That is great news, can I ask, did they say why they were letting you guys take the test again, I think I read that 10 point vets can apply at anytime, is that right, anyway congrats that is great news, good luck.

10 pointers can take the test again without waiting for another formal announcement (probably won't be for 3 years). I believe we are still limited to once a year. I didn't do well on my WD/LBMT/SI portion (not enough sleep the night before), so I am retaking this year.
I just received my WD/LBMT time and date in DC for the afternoon of 15 October at the Roosevelt Bldg., where it was last year. SI is set for 16 October in the afternoon at the Embassy Suites, again, same venue as last year. Having been through it last year will be enormously helpful in my preparation and relaxing for the tests.
I've got two weeks to prep, so I'm on it. Wish me luck. Any other 10 pointers scheduled for those dates? There can't be many of us testing.
