Can someone help me navigate CEA application/scoring/interview questions?

Formerly in service and looking to return.

I just got my results for a CEA exam back (they reviewed and scored my SOQ) and was given Rank 1, scoring 95. I feel this is a good thing? But I am curious about what the pool usually looks like. I feel like eligibility lists can be top-heavy, and I might have 10+ people rank 1. Does anyone have any insight?

Also, the scoring took about 5 weeks. Will interviews take as long to start, or will things move faster? I assume the need is somewhat urgent, but who knows?

I have another CEA app with a similar agency (the jobs are so close that I feel that I will score the same) and would prefer this job to the initial one. Is a month to score typical, or could some move faster?

Thanks so much, gang!
