Went back and checked.

The day we were waiting for C1 results we got an email saying we wouldn't get them for another four weeks (imagine our joy). We then got them on the second amended date.

C2 results were due on the 19th December and they actually arrived on the 16th (forgot about that)

And here's me giving out about having to wait til late afternoon!! Imagine being told to wait another 4 weeks.. that would be soul destroying

Hello all! Been lurking for a good while and just joined!:) Just for clarification, the results tomorrow (all being well) won't tell us our score, just a pass/fail...is that right?

Hi there! I'm not 100% sure if I'm honest because this is my first time doing the AC but I'm lead to believe we will be told how we performed in each section and given an overall score (percentage). I think we have to score higher than 60% to be considered a pass.

Well I have been lurking around here for a while. I was on this forum when it started basically.
I actually joined the psni eight years ago.....thereabouts.
Transferred to a mainland force a few years back and am now trying to get in as they do not have the legal framework to accept transferees.

Anyway.

Ended up going through the normal process. As much as I was hoping my experience would help me it really didn't.

I found it fairly difficult and had no clue when I came out. When I did it a long time ago the role plays were nothing to do with policing.

I just wanted to wish everyone good luck tomorrow. Having been there its a great career despite the negativity it gets. I left for personal reasons, nothing to do with the force.

Dying to get back so if you do manage to get in don't leave!!!!

Hi mate!

Did you do your AC towards the end of January by any chance? I met an existing police officer across the pond looking to get back into the PSNI at mine!

yet another lurker

No

Obviously cannot be specific but I did mine mid February. Everyone seemed pretty reasonable. When I did it the first time there were a few chavs around. No offence but I think you know what I mean.
Two months ago but seems like an age now!

Yeah you get an overall percentage which has an alphabetical grade attached to a range of percentages (just for talks sake 60-70 would be a B, but obviously the higher B you score the sooner you should progress.)

You do get a break down of each section which is handy if you don't get a pass this time but apply in the next campaign, so you know what needs worked on.

I know it was 60% in campaign 1 and pretty sure the same for C2, but I think it depends on how everyone scores i.e. if the majority of candidates score lower the pass mark will be lower....but don't quote me on that.

I do have to say Johannes, you've been a fountain of knowledge throughout the thread. All info greatly appreciated from a first timer!

Haha I wouldn't go as far as a fountain.

I went through the process in campaign 1 so anything I say might be a little outdated, I don't know if there were any changes made in C2 but most of the questions that have been asked I had myself in 2013.

The whole recruitment process is long and far from transparent for the obvious security reasons, but any small amount of info that is allowed to be posted and talking to others in the same situation helps with the agonising wait. It doesn't get any easier with each stage you pass either (well for me at least).

In my opinion the AC is the hardest part, it's out of the way now and if we pass the only other stages we can affect are the PCA and completing online learning (if/when received). Vetting, Medical and SMT (as long as we behave ourselves) are out of our hands.

It will all be worth it in the end.

lmcg1106

Good luck everyone

yet another lurker

Well that didn't work at all!

I specifically stayed up until 4am as 1) I'm not in until 1700 today
And more so that I would definitely lie in thinking by the time I got up the results would be in. Turns out I got up at 0700 anyway!!!!
So this will be a nightmare day.

Good luck to the lot of you

swl33t

Good luck guys

Third time waiting for me and it gets no easier on D Day.

One email could effectively change your life direction. Can't wait to get it but not sure I want to open it :eek:

They will probably press the send button before leaving the office!

Best of luck to all today! Everyone wants this for different reasons but the bottom line is we all want to make a difference to our own lives and those we would be serving! The desire to make that change and make a difference is something to be proud of in itself. So if it is bad news at least you know you went through all of this for the right reasons; hold your head high!

I hope everyone here gets the result they're hoping for! A genuine bunch of like minded, decent people!
