EPSO-test

multiple choice tests

EPSO's udvælgelsesprøver omfatter en række prøver, der har til formål at vurdere ansøgerens generelle og specifikke kompetencer. 

Meddelelsen om udvælgelsesprøven er det eneste officielle dokument, der indeholder detaljerede oplysninger om de konkrete prøver, som EPSO har anvendt i forbindelse med en given udvælgelsesprøve.
Alle meddelelser om udvælgelsesprøver offentliggøres i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.

Denne side indeholder nogle eksempler på prøver, som EPSO kan bruge i sine udvælgelsesprøver, og som udelukkende har til formål at gøre potentielle ansøgere mere fortrolige med prøvernes opbygning og indhold. Siden er ikke beregnet på at lære ansøgerne, hvordan de kan bestå vores udvælgelsesprøver. Dette ligger uden for EPSO's mandat.

Hvis du vil vide mere om EPSO's udvælgelsesprøver, kan du også gå ind på siden EPSO-prøver: Side om myter og fakta.

Vi opfordrer dig også til at læse EPSO's generelle kompetenceramme, hvis du vil vide mere om de kompetencer, som de EU-institutioner og -organer, som EPSO arbejder for, betragter som afgørende for, at medarbejderne kan fungere godt i et givet job. Nogle af disse kompetencer vurderes af EPSO i udvælgelsesfasen, mens andre vurderes af EU-institutionerne og -organerne selv i ansættelsesfasen. 

 

EPSO-PRØVER – NY MODEL FOR UDVÆLGELSESPRØVER (FRA 2023)
EPSO-PRØVER — TIDLIGERE MODEL FOR UDVÆLGELSESPRØVER (INDTIL 2022)

Main steps

  • Eligibility - evaluation of eligibility criteria and minimum requirements is done by the Selection Board.
  • Talent screener- only used for specialist competitions. In their application form, candidates are asked to list all their professional skills, experience and qualifications, which will then be assessed by the Selection Board.
  • Computer based multiple-choice tests - verbal, numerical, abstract reasoning tests and, for certain specialist competitions, tests on field-related competencies. All tests are remotely proctored. 
  • Assessment centre phase - the final stage for the testing of general and field-related competencies under EPSO’s former competition model (published until the end of 2022). Through various tests, Selection Board members evaluate skills such as analysis and problem-solving, communicating, prioritising and organising, delivering quality and results, and others. The Assessment Centre tests are organised in an online format (remote) and the tests usually take place on different dates.

KONTRAKTANSATTE / CAST PERMANENT

On this page you will find some sample tests that candidates may have to pass when taking part in the Contract Agents / CAST Permanent selection procedure.

All these tests will be computer-based and you will take them at the same time via remotely proctored testing. 

Reasoning skills tests:

  • Verbal (assesses your ability to think logically and understand verbal, numerical information). Try our verbal sample tests.
  • Numerical (assesses your ability to think logically and understand numerical information). Try our numerical sample tests.
  • Abstract (assesses your ability to think logically and understand the relations between concepts involving no linguistic, spatial or numerical elements). Try our abstract sample tests.

Competency test for each profile

Currently, EPSO is responsible only for organising the reasoning skills tests, but not for the competency tests. The recruiting services of the EU institutions have adapted the selection procedure of Contract Agents accordingly, and keep their relevant services informed of the applicable procedure.
