I was nervous about this one but I made it through on the first attempt. Happy to answer any questions about prep strategy, which resources I used, or what the test experience was like.

Quick overview:
- Studied for about 6 weeks total
- Used https://practicetestgeeks.com/civil-service-exam for practice tests (ran through all of them at least twice)
- Scored in the top quarter of my cohort based on the percentile report

Ask me anything. Especially happy to help people who are retaking or feeling stuck.
 
Can confirm — I failed my first attempt for similar reasons. The second time I was much more systematic about time management and it made a real difference.
 
Bookmarked. I've been looking for a realistic comparison like this for weeks. Most of what I found online was either from prep companies with an obvious sales angle or was 3+ years old.
 
Solid breakdown. I'd add: the night before, don't cram. Do one easy practice set just to stay warm, then sleep. Your brain consolidates material during sleep better than it does during a last-minute review session.
