Then Monday's must have gone quickly. I didn't see any available when I scheduled my tests dates. Mondays would be popular due to the ability to travel on Sunday.

Thanks for all the comments to my post.
When I filled out the application in 2013, I didn't say anything to anyone except a few friends. The references listed in the application were all people who'd indicated that they'd be happy to serve as references in general, not for that particular job application. I figured I'd let them know about the ALJ job if and when I advanced in the process and it seemed likely they'd be contacted. I guess I'm safe for quite a while before they are contacted, if that ever happens. And if I actually get to the point of updating references, I think they'd be on that updated list.
In response to accessing my application, someone posted specific instructions on how to do that, and someone else followed that post with a "great instructions, should work as long as your application was not deleted in a purge" sort of response. I've followed the instructions and can't find a link to my application. I do vaguely remember getting some email stating that my application was going to be purged. So I think my application no longer exists.
Thanks, luckylady2, for the explanation of the various groups that are posting here. That puts their comments in context. So it seems a group (testing now) will receive their NORs after I do the DC component in October, but before my group's testing ends. When that group gets their NORs, I shouldn't wonder why I didn't receive any notification either way, until MY group starts posting that they are getting NORs.
I appreciate everyone's kind and helpful responses.

I don't think your application was purged. You would not be at the stage you are now if it had been. Go look and see.

Serious - You are not going to find out your NOR ahead of when everyone else in your group does. If you don't make the Register, you may find out at which part of the process your score did not meet minimums, but if you make it all the way through to the Register, the only thing you get from OPM at the end is a NOR. No one gets any kind of advantage over their test group in finding out ahead of anyone else and no one who gets a NOR gets any kind of detail as to how the NOR was calculated. Now you should be aware that there are several groups of folks sharing on the Board right now. There's a group that tested in 2013 and were put on the Register (ie got their NORs in March of 2014 - about 6 months after the OPM testing & interviews were done). Many of these folks have appeared on OPM city-certs to SSA, have had SSA interviews (not the same as the SI) and are waiting for job offers from SSA - which we're literally in the middle of. There's a group that OPM notified in May that they can now test n& interview, and they are in DC now and for the next week or so completing their tests & SI's at OPM. Then there's the group that is currently self-scheduling their OPM tests and interviews for Oct-Dec. This group will get its results at the same time, and probably well after the May group get theirs. luckylady2, I am curious as to your certainty that NORs won't be done on a rolling basis? I understand for the large group that wasn't done, but do we really know for certain that it won't be done with smaller groups in subsequent rounds of testing? Just curious!

Needed to reschedule this evening due to lots of obligations this fall. I noticed that a couple of Mondays in October are no longer available. I listed the days that were initially available on another post so Gaidin can make a poll for us. At another location on this forum, a member said there is strong intel that the SI will be at the Embassy Suites in Georgetown. I just assumed we are likely to all be scored together, but no telling. I assume folks who test on Thursday will do the interview on Friday, since the sign up information is so clear on that point. That explains why there is no testing on Fridays. Also there is a Wednesday Holiday (October 11) so there is no testing on Tuesday since there would be no SI that Wednesday. Avril, I wanted to thank you for providing this kind of detail to the board. Much better than the rampant speculation and WAGs we all like to throw out there!

As the person who puts together most of the polls lack of detail is always a problem.
