This is a computer-based test based on a relevant scenario, in which the candidate is faced with various problems that the candidate is asked to solve or to which the candidate must react, relying solely on the material provided.

The Case Study assignment assesses the written communication competency. Markers (i.e. those individuals who mark the tests) base their assessment on the specific anchors of this competency. EPSO markers are advised that grammar or spelling mistakes in themselves should not be taken into consideration in the assessment.

Case study mock test

Skupaj s prehodom na izvajanje natečajev v vseh 24 jezikih EPSO z letom 2024 v izbirnih postopkih uvaja novo vrsto testa: pisni test, katerega namen je oceniti pisne komunikacijske spretnosti kandidatk in kandidatov. Pisni test bo nadomestil študijo primera*.

EPSO bo glede na potrebe služb, ki zaposlujejo, v natečajih uporabljal tri različne vrste testov:

1. pisni test s področja natečaja, pri katerem se ocenijo samo pisne komunikacijske spretnosti 
2. strokovni pisni test, pri katerem se ocenijo pisne komunikacijske spretnosti in poznavanje področja natečaja
3. sestavek s področja zadev EU, pri katerem se ocenijo samo pisne komunikacijske spretnosti 

Kandidati in kandidatke bodo teste pisali na podlagi zagotovljene dokumentacije s področja oziroma področij natečaja, kot je določeno v razpisu natečaja.

Pisni test ni jezikovni test. Kandidati in kandidatke bodo ocenjeni na podlagi spodaj navedenih specifičnih sider (sidra so merila, po katerih se pri ocenjevanju določene spretnosti ravnajo ocenjevalci).

Sidra za pisno sporazumevanje

Kandidat oziroma kandidatka:

1. se izraža strukturirano, tako da so ideje v logičnem sosledju
2. se izraža jedrnato, brez nepotrebnih besed in stavkov
3. na razumljiv način obravnava določeno temo
4. pri pisanju upošteva ciljno občinstvo in namen
5. pri reševanju naloge uporabi zagotovljene informacije

* Študija primera se bo še naprej uporabljala pri nekaterih natečajih, ki so že v teku.
