    I do know everything is Pass or Fail except the HR questions which you may need a 80 on, don't quote me on it since I can't remember from the 2018 process. I do know you won't know any scores until after the initial interview. Took my exam in June and was just checking my scores today on how I did and it showed them posting them early Sept. So figure up to a month after the initial interviews stop and when they're getting ready to invite people for the pre-screening exams. I'll help out with any questions I can about the process from what I remember. I'm back in this process due to messing up my Chief interview. One thing I will say is you get what you put into the process and if you really want it you will get it.

      Ahh so you interview before you find out your score? Their website says they usually only take the top 25% so I figured you'd need a mid to high 90 to move on in the process.

        So from what I remember they took about 180ish to pre-screening and interviewed 90 or so from that for Chief. I was low 100's with an average score of around 92. My two exams were about an average of 96 but interview was low 80's. They are grading the interview a little more this time around, which is what I'm working on. They add Veteran Pref Points after initial interview for your list score.

              I wasn't able to get up to Washington to take my NTN, they changed my test date 2 days before my flight... really kinda screwed me.. I won't have time to get up there now. Best of luck to all those going through the process.

                  So now that I'm home and not working went back and found 5500-6000 tested last time. Think 1500-2000 were asked for interviews.

                      What are the pre-screen exams exactly? Took my test in October, haven't heard anything yet. I hope everyone did well.

                              So to answer some questions wouldn't expect any answers until next week and wouldn't be shocked if it did extend to the first week of Jan. SFD always seems to be on top of time lines, but with the Holidays in the middle of it all and 6000 scores to go through wouldn't be surprised. But since no one has heard that it good, since once someone hears it usually takes a few days for everyone to hear.

                              Pre-Screening I do not want to talk in much detail, except if you did well on the WAQ it wont be that bad.

                                Just went back and scores closed June 23rd last time and I received my scores the 17th of July. We were all told early July then, so would give a week for sure if its getting close to the 31st and you haven't heard anything.
