Hi Guys,

Just done with my test and interview.

The test is very easy. If u read the whole book once,you will be fine.My test started around 8.30- we were done in less than 5 mins and we both got 20/20. The interview also was less than 5 mins for me and my wife- the lady was very nice and she just confirmed where i was working and same question to my wife and did not even ask about my travels.

I was done by 9am.

She said we will get the invitation within 2-5 months as we do not have a judge here.

Those websites definitely helped but definitely recommend reading the book thoroughly.

All the bests.

zsha,

Congrats ! Some questions:

How many people approx. were there at the test/interview ?

So the reason people have to wait a bit is because there is no judge here to administer CIT oath ?

Any other observations on how test/interviews were conducted etc - such as how many officers did you see around ? what was the general mood ? Did you observe other interviews being conducted - any insights ?


Thanks a lot buddy...

There were like 15 ppl in the room. Unfortunately, i did not experience any other interview. i finished first and my interview was first- there was only one lady after me and she got 17/20. There were around 3 officers in the test room and 3 ppl interviewing.

I hope for oath ceremonies, they are calling more ppl (more than 30 ppl) per session- It will help to clear any backlogs and faster invitation for everyone :D
