Comparing eutraining CAST Competency questions with the real EPSO test | EU Training

Hi, based on the feedback received from people who have recently taken the real EPSO CAST exam (FG IV and programnme management in particular), it seems that the comptency questions of the eutraining package are a bit out of scope. The training questions are very specific (directives dates, very detailed budget questions, etc) and that studying this content is "a waste of time" to prepare the actual EPSO test (according to someone who took the EPSO test in June), since the actual questions are much broader. Since these CAST competency tests are relatively new, it would make sense if eutraining is still adjusting the content to reflect the real test. What is your opinion ? Do you also find that the CAST competency questions are a bit out of scope for the real exam ? I'm trying to know what I should focus on to get ready for my september exam. Thanks

Hi, I really agree with you.

Hi, I really agree with you. I doubt these kind of questions are asked for the PM profile as those are too specific. In addition, checking with colleagues working as PM, they could hardly answer a few of them correctly.

Hello Maria, I have seen that for  a CA in Political affairs / EU policies (CAST Permanent) is required to pass a competency test  - do you know or does anybody know what is about and how to prepare to do it in a good way ? Thanks for any support / help/advices recommendations. Best! /M
