            Unlike standard universities, NSU evaluates you on three distinct levels. You must qualify in all to make the final merit list.<br><br>

            <strong>1. Written Test (NSUEE):</strong> 100 Marks (60-90 mins).<br>
            <strong>2. Physical Fitness Test:</strong> 20 Marks (Compulsory Qualifying).<br>
            <strong>3. Sports Proficiency & Achievement:</strong> 50+30 Marks.<br><br>

            <strong>Note:</strong> If you fail the Physical Fitness Test, your written marks won't even be considered. <strong>Fitness is mandatory.</strong>

            • <strong>50m Sprint:</strong> To test explosive speed.<br>
            • <strong>Standing Broad Jump:</strong> To test lower body power.<br>

            • <strong>1000m Run/Walk:</strong> To test cardiovascular endurance.<br><br>

            <strong>Tip:</strong> Start training at least 3 months before the exam. Aim for the "Elite" timing category to bag the full 20 marks.

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">If you are looking for the <strong>Civil Service Fast Stream situational judgement test</strong>, the test you mean is called <strong>Work-based scenarios</strong>. The Fast Stream pages for 2027 entry do not use the words “situational judgement” at all. The online-tests page lists two online tests, Work-based scenarios and the Case Study assessment (a video on the application-process page also names a Using data assessment), and the first of them is a situational judgement test in everything but name: you are shown work situations and you rate how effective different actions would be. It is not the same test as the <strong>Civil Service Judgement Test</strong> (CSJT) that ordinary Civil Service job adverts use, although the two look alike. This guide sets the two side by side from the official pages, including the one label that differs on their rating scales, shows where the words situational judgement appeared on older Fast Stream pages, and then works through a scenario.

Is there a situational judgement test in the Civil Service Fast Stream?

So the plain answer is yes in substance and no in name. Calling Work-based scenarios “the Fast Stream SJT” is our shorthand; it is not the official title. We checked the Fast Stream online-tests, application-process, initial-application, additional-information, Gen AI and home pages on 16 October 2026 for the phrase and did not find it. The Case Study assessment also asks you to judge responses to situations, inside one evolving scenario. The official pages do not use the term for it either.

Situational judgement on older Fast Stream pages

Older official Fast Stream pages did use the words situational judgement, for a questionnaire. Copies of the Fast Stream how-to-apply page kept by the Internet Archive, made on 1 November 2020, 17 April 2021 and 1 June 2023, list the online tests as "Work Style Questionnaires and multimedia Situational Judgement Questionnaires" (in the 2023 copy, "a multimedia Situational Judgement Questionnaire and a Numerical Test" alongside the Work Style Questionnaires). On those pages, Work Based Scenarios were a separate phase, made up of an online case study and learning assessments.

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The dates are when the archive copied each page (the last row is the live page as we read it), not necessarily the campaign year. The official pages do not say whether today’s Work-based scenarios test replaced those questionnaires, so we do not claim it. What is clear is that advice written for a "Situational Judgement Questionnaire" describes an older format. For the full history, including the work style questionnaire, see our <a href="/hub/fast-stream-work-style-questionnaire" style="color:#255a45;font-weight:600">Fast Stream work style questionnaire guide</a>.</p>

Work-based scenarios and the Civil Service Judgement Test side by side

Every cell is from the official pages named in the sources below, read on 16 October 2026. “Not described” and “Not stated” mean exactly that: the Fast Stream pages are silent, and we have not filled the gap from the CSJT guidance. The biggest structural difference is the first part of the CSJT. GOV.UK says that part asks you to rate how ambitious, motivated and flexible you are in the workplace, and that you may be asked about your answers at interview. Nothing like it is described for the Fast Stream.

The definitions are the same in substance at every point: unacceptable, poor, useful, good. Three of the four labels are identical. Only the third differs, “Partially effective” in the Fast Stream and “Fairly Effective” in the CSJT, and the definition under it is the same idea in both: a useful action that would be of some help (the CSJT adds "to the situation"). The descriptions also differ in small wording, such as "problem" against "situation". Our reading is that a candidate who has learned one scale has in substance learned the other. If you practise on CSJT material and then sit the Fast Stream test, expect the third label and some small wording to change.

The CSJT guidance adds a rule the Fast Stream page leaves unsaid: look at each action independently, and do not assume that only one action is effective or ineffective, because you can rate more than one action the same. The Fast Stream’s own worked example behaves that way. Two of its four actions are both rated Ineffective.

One worked scenario, rated on the Fast Stream scale

The scenario below is a worked example we wrote for this guide; it is not one of the 12 scenarios in the ProSyllabus Fast Stream practice set. It is independent practice material in text. It is not an official question, the real test shows its scenarios as short videos, and the key is our reading of the published scale. We use it here because it has an action at each of the four points, which the one official example does not: that example has no Partially effective action.

You are a policy officer in a government department. Your line manager, Rachel, has asked for a briefing note by 5pm on Thursday, ready for a director's meeting on Friday morning. On Wednesday afternoon Tom, a senior analyst in another team, asks you to check the figures in a draft answer to a parliamentary question that is due at noon on Thursday. He says you are the only person who knows the dataset. You cannot do both pieces of work to a proper standard in the time. Rachel is in meetings until 4pm but is reading her messages.

<div style="margin:18px 0;padding:14px 18px;background:#f3f8f4;border:1px solid #cfe3d6;border-radius:12px;line-height:1.6;color:#24342b">Rate a full scenario yourself in our free practice, then see the answers and the reasons. <a href="/hub/fast-stream-situational-judgement-test#fs-practice-top" style="color:#1f7a45;font-weight:700">Try the free scenario &rarr;</a></div>

<figure style="margin:22px 0;padding:18px 22px;background:#fbfaf6;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-left:4px solid #1f7a45;border-radius:12px"><blockquote style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:19px;line-height:1.55;color:#171d29;font-style:italic">Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.</blockquote><figcaption style="margin:10px 0 0;font-size:13.5px;color:#5b6472">Samuel Johnson, <cite>Rasselas (1759), chapter 13</cite></figcaption></figure>

Read the four actions as a ladder. C is Counterproductive because it adds a new problem: Tom stops looking for another way to meet a parliamentary deadline. D is Ineffective because it does no fresh harm and leaves everything where it was. A is Partially effective because Tom is told the truth, which helps, while nothing is yet proposed. B is Effective because the person who owns the decision gets the facts and a workable option in time. In CSJT terms, A would be the “Fairly Effective” action; the judgement is the same and only the label moves.

Notice also what the scenario gives you and what the best action does with it. Rachel is in meetings and is reading her messages. That detail is why messaging her now is possible, and why waiting to catch her between meetings is only of some help.

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The second Fast Stream online test asks for judgement too, in a different shape: 7 pieces of background information, then 24 situations in one evolving scenario. For 2027 entry the page says that in some of them you identify the most and least effective responses, and in others you rate several actions on the same four-point scale. So the rating scale above is used in both tests. The format, a worked situation and what the page does not say are in our <a href="/hub/fast-stream-case-study-assessment-practice" style="color:#255a45;font-weight:600">Case Study assessment guide</a>.</p>
