USA Jobs does not have my application for some reason. Is there anyone else I might contact to get a copy? I am testing in DC in October. Also, are we supposed to bring lunch / water/ snacks for the 8 hour test?
Thanks for any guidance!

I'd add you probably want to refrain from snacking during the exam, unless you want to take direct hostile hits from your fellow examiners if you make noise with wrappers and such and break their concentration. ?

I'm afraid the advisability of opening loud candy wrappers is covered by the CA. It's very broad.

I highly recommend ear plugs.

I know we cannot ask specifics about testing, but under the ALJ hiring discussion it is indicated that the SI is basically a panel asking questions with right or wrong answers and the SAA interview asks for examples. Does this mean the SI does not ask for examples?

I believe you pre-answered your own question.

The test info you received is all the information about what happens in either of those rooms you're ever going to get on this board. I think I agree that the question shouldn't be answered. But, I don't see a problem with this (and haven't seen it answered on this board): I understand we are to take the exam on Government laptops--do they have "regular" keyboards--by that I mean separate from but attached to the computer? I honestly don't remember if you go back through old threads you might find the answer.

I took the WD & LBMD on 9/2/15 & had SI on 9/3/15. There were 12 testees in my group. Approx 2 of us were private sector lawyers w/o military or current Federal employment. The writing demo was exhausting!! As was the logic test! NO idea how I did, but enjoyed meeting 11 really nice candidates. Not sure if I'm putting this on the correct thread!
Edit Note by Pixie: Sunrise, I have moved your post here as I agree with Gary that this is a more appropriate thread.

We had the keyboard on the laptop AND a separate regular keyboard. You could use either.

I know we are given scratch paper at the SI. How about at the WD?
