How to work through the Civil Service Judgement Test (CSJT) syllabus
The outline on this page is arranged the way the syllabus itself is: subject, then chapter, then topic, then sub-topic. That last level is what most study plans skip, and it is where coverage actually goes wrong — a chapter marked "done" often has three sub-topics inside it that were never touched.
Weight your plan accordingly: The Civil Service Success Profiles Framework carries 14 topics while Test Preparation and Performance Strategy carries 10. Giving both the same number of weeks is the most common planning mistake for Civil Service Judgement Test (CSJT).
The ~90 hour estimate above is a first pass only: roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic. Revision cycles, past papers and mocks sit on top of that number.
