My number is 329 and I think it is nothing but a cat's paw for the unwary.

My number is 251 and that doesn't appear to match my OPM score

No offense to Buttercup, but I really think this is a dead end. We are obviously well into the crazy, high anxiety period of the selection process where we all start seeing blackballs, blood of the lamb, and Templar symbols everywhere. Was anyone else asked during the interview if their hand was larger than their face? "Paranoia strikes deep: Into your life it will creep“ (Stephen Stills, 1967)

None of my references has been contacted this time. I do know however that they pulled a credit report.

Ed, this is my first time, and none of my references have been contacted yet. Does anybody have a guess as to why this may be?

Ed, this is my first time, and none of my references have been contacted yet. Does anybody have a guess as to why this may be? See page 2, thread: 'background checks". If you do some research, you will see that last year background checks went on and on and on...

My number is 251 and that doesn't appear to match my OPM score The number 251 probbaly represents the order in which you faxed your info sheet to ODAR.

My reference # is 133, and having seen other reference #'s posted here certainly doesn't reflect my place on the cert - my score would have been very near the bottom (based on the scores reported here). I returned my materials about noon Eastern the day before they were due.

My reference is 380 and I faxed my material the very last day, in the morning about 11:00 A.M. EST. If the theory about rank is true, I doubt that there are 450 persons who returned material. I guess between 400 and 420. Perhaps not everybody returned material.

I believe somewhere in this thread it was revealed that people knew their reference number by virtue of being told that their references had been contacted containing that number. I scored in the mid 60s but not a single reference of mine has been contacted. Is it possible I will not even get a sniff at an offer? I need to up my anti-anxiety medication!

It's certainly possible that you will not get even a sniff of an offer, but that will have nothing to do with when your references are contacted. The timing of contacts with your references is of no significance whatsoever.
