Applying to UK Civil Service? Start with your actual vacancy, invitation and candidate resources. This page offers JTP practice and a preparation checklist; it does not verify a company-wide test battery, provider, stage count, timing or scoring rule. Optional JTP topics on this page include Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Situational Judgment Test, AI Interview Prep, Personality Assessment, Critical Thinking. Compare them with your next task before choosing additional practice.

-
1Read your own instructions Independent practiceFind the exact programme, role, location and next step in your vacancy and invitation.→ Record the deadline, equipment, permitted tools and adjustment contact. Ask the recruiter about anything unclear.
-
2Choose relevant practice Independent practiceTry the employer-provided candidate resources first. A practice topic below is optional, not proof that the employer uses that format.→ Name one skill gap, try an example and write down the mistaken step before adding more modules.
-
3Rehearse truthful examples Independent practicePrepare an example you can explain from your own work, study or volunteering. These are study steps, not a published hiring sequence.→ Separate your contribution from the team's, explain the evidence and prepare for a follow-up question.
Originale øvingsoppgaver fra JTP
A fictional team resolves 18 of 24 requests on Monday and 28 of 40 on Tuesday. Monday's resolution rate is 18/24 = 75%; Tuesday's is 28/40 = 70%. Tuesday resolves more requests, while Monday has the higher rate. The difference is 5 percentage points. This is original practice, not a UK Civil Service question or a claimed test format.
Måler: Practice focus: distinguish counts, rates and percentage points.
- Write the requested quantity before calculating.
- Label the numerator and denominator.
- Explain why a larger count does not necessarily mean a larger rate.
- Create a different example to check the method.
Vanlige feil
- Comparing counts without checking their totals.
- Confusing percentage points with relative percentage change.
A fictional note says every report approved before noon was sent that day. Report A was approved before noon, so the rule establishes that A was sent that day. Report B was sent that day, but that alone does not establish when it was approved. The rule works in one direction. This is a JTP example, not UK Civil Service assessment material.
Måler: Practice focus: separate stated evidence from an assumption.
- Identify the condition and its consequence.
- Do not reverse the rule.
- Name the information needed to settle an unanswered question.
Vanlige feil
- Treating a necessary condition as sufficient.
- Adding facts that the passage never states.
Intervjuer
Choose a real occasion when a deadline conflicted with a quality concern. Explain what you knew, your responsibility, the options and your own action. State the result accurately and explain what you would change with hindsight. Rehearse a follow-up question about evidence that could have changed your decision.
Format: JTP practice; not an employer question list or scoring rubric.
