Since 2010, EPSO has been administering all pre-selection tests on a computer in order to enhance reliability, efficiency and accuracy of the exams. This also ensures that candidates are assessed on an equal and non-discriminatory basis and there is no national, gender or other bias in the selection methods. For generalist competitions (Administrators, Assistants, Linguists) EPSO many times uses computer based tests for the Case Study exercise and/or for the Professional skills tests as well.
The downside of computer based tests is that candidates cannot highlight, circle or mark parts of the question, though for numerical reasoning tests and on-screen and a physical calculator is offered.
