ATSA Compilation

Just curious, will they let me take the test early if I get there before the scheduled time?

That aside...hope it's not too crowded when I go to take the test.

Negative. When I went they made it a big deal that we all showed up early because they can’t start until everyone scheduled for the test is there. If you’re ALL early, they might let you all start early. But if it’s just you you’re gonna wait around at least until the scheduled time

Wont even open the door until the schedules time

 

[yup]

Yup, at my place the email said "We won't let you in at all unless you're in the building half an hour before the start time!" and then the PSI people looked at us all funny when we got there 45min before. They didn't open the door until half-hour.

4 and under yes. btw while youre at it, can you count how many parts you did in the differences section. i have a feeling that they also test you on how fast you can do it as well. i did around 5 parts of that while many others did more (maybe because they did it faster?). can you also read the directions in that section to see if they say its timed? thanks!

I took 8 just so you know.

Dumb question that's been eating at me:

For the last three parts of the test it took you to a website (SHL or something).

when you were done, and all the sections said "completed", were you free to walk away at that point?

There wasn't something you had to officially submit on the website was there? Like a "Submit your results" button at the bottom of the screen I might have missed?

I just told the proctor I was done and asked if I had to log off. She said yes so I just logged off from there and checked out.

Just making sure I didn't miss a step.

Word around town is that testing is over as of yesterday (friend of mine was trying to get rescheduled and they wouldn’t give him a testing date because testing is closed). Can anyone confirm or deny this? (Like is anyone scheduled/rescheduled between now and the 30th?)

I saw somwhere (here, reddit or stuckmic) that someone talked to HR and HR said the last date was 11/22. I would just pretend the last day is the end of November. I have been super anxious about getting results and am just now feeling comfortable being surprised by the results.

It doesn’t help much to try to get this process done quicker. Hurry up and wait. You have to just take what you can get as far as how crowded a room is.

Does anyone know if the personality survey part of the exam is part of the grading?

 

[Akriege]

I just checked usajobs. It says I have been referred. Now I wait another month to see if I get a letter, right?

I do not believe anyone outside of HR knows how the exam is graded and they are not allowed to communicate that information.

Could be 2 months no one knows, unfortunately.

anyone know how to get better at the Word Problems section? I feel this part was the most difficult

Actually that’s probably the section that would be the easiest to study for and actually improve upon. Look for study material for the LSAT logical reasoning questions - the questions on the ATSA are very similar to those on the LSAT, and there are tons of books and online study guides dedicated to that.
