How are the oppositions of Correos and how they select
Correos oppositions, like many others, do not depend only on the exam you take, but also on the merits you contribute. Namely:
You will take an exam
In this case, in Correos they have two different tests, depending on how you present yourself for delivery positions and classification agent, or you do it for customer service positions. Thus, if you have signed up for the two oppositions, you will take two exams.
These are of type test, but the errors will subtract, not the unanswered ones. Your goal is get as many questions right as possible in order to get a high grade. Specifically, you will have 90 questions about the syllabus and 10 psychotechnics. In addition, there are usually 10 reservation questions in case any of the 100 proposals are canceled.
The time to take the exam is 110 minutes.
You will contribute the merits
Once the exam is done, and always as of October 31, 2020, all merits must be provided (training, experience ...) that you have so that they value and give you another score.
Thus, the Final result of the oppositions will be the sum between the merits and the exam grade. And yes, that means that whoever has experience working with Correos, even if they have obtained a lower exam grade, will pass those who have a higher grade but cannot contribute merits.
Good luck!
