There is no facility to appeal stage 2 as far as i know but you can ring and find out.

Padge1987

Has anyone got a confirmation email after booking stage 3 today ?

Maria79

No there is! I called them on Friday and they are appealing it when they get all the other if any appeals in. You have to Monday. After that you can't.

Maria79

I'm just wondering if anyone else appealed? Worth a try anyhow.

I have Maria! Not giving up that easily haha

I appealed. I got confirmation today of the appeal and they will get back to me in due course. They did say however, that they will not issue me with a transcript of my answers or the scoring key as it compromises the validity of the assessment, so i'm not holding out any hope when they won't even show me what questions I got wrong.

Elliot192

I appealed. Was shocked how badly I did in verbal reasoning. Hadn't been getting scores like that in any of the practice tests. Was expecting to do better as I finally got a mouse to do tests with. Worth a shot anyway!

Any luck lads?

For that girl thinking of coming back from Oz in the hope of getting through stage 2/3/4, with no guarantee of getting called for the guards. Take a look at the pay for the Guards, its a joke.. €23,000 per year. Don't bother, it is not worth the risk.

Maria79

I wish everyone the best of luck but I honesty think there are a few people on this jumping the gun! You still have to go through stage 3/4/5 you are only out of stage 2, I see some on here asking about waiting times for interviews etc when you haven't even done stage 3, your going to be very disappointed if you don't slow down and take each stage at a time. Take it from me, just concentrate on each stage as you go. Good luck to you all. But take her handy your not there yet!

Well said Maria79, it's a pretty blunt exit if it happens, happened to me at stage 2, just, but it did and it's horrible, hopes, dreams, time & money spent preparing, finding it all do-able, great results at practice stage, speaking as someone who just missed out by the smallest margin, it's pretty sickening, as you say one stage at a time is ur best bet

Wannabegarda

It's grand for saying that but if ur class like I am it's a matter of saving a thousand euro when you spent three grand on a mad off the ball trip around Vietnam and Thailand that you might not be able to go on....

Answer me this? A "canditate" who got his sister to pass stage 1 and stage 2 for him got placed no.41 after stage 2 and progressed to stage 3, he is now going to sit stage 3, "just for the craic" (quote) how is this fair?

thekopend

well hopefully the system will take care of that, if he couldnt manage to do stage 1 and 2 himself and was placed 41 he prob hasnt a hope of getting near the same results himself.

True, not a hope, such a waste of a position for someone else who didn't make stage 3

Wannabegarda

Then let's make sure this bollocks doesn't get through.

Jaysis your proper guard material

Wannabegarda

O we will know him when we see him cocky ****er wearing a Tsgirt and jeans. The report writing will **** him up anyway. He has done no prep so he will not pass it..

Greta P

Have you your results from exams today already ?

HighburyLad

Can I ask anybody is stage 3, 2 tests similar to what we have down then a report writing exercise? Is there roleplays involved? sorry for the asking I'm trying to find more information online so I can at least prepare by the way not through to it yet but sitting around the 700 placing

Boult

Yes that's correct and a job simulation exercise like the example given in the familarisation document we received.

Appeal it. THey are accepting appeals

IrelandRos

Anyone have any experience with appeals or know waiting times for a reply to appeals?

Wannabegarda

This is for stage 3 only dont worry bout it until then but if i fail i will defiantly appeal it. Im waiting too long for this

IrelandRos

Stage 2 appeals, for those who just lost out at stage 2, I wonder if anyone who appealed heard anything yet?

Maria79

I appealed stage 2 also but got no reply yet! I don't expect any change to the result anyhow tbh. I only missed out by 1 point!!

IrelandRos

Jesus 1 point, well you definately deserve to be at stage 3, Espically over someone I know who is there as a canditate who broke all the rules, never took one question, let alone a stage, got someone else to do it, and is yet sitting stage 3. A complaint is in order rather than an appeal I think...

Maria79

There's no way they will pass stage 3, I know that they are very strict on comparing results. Anyhow I called them re appeal, she said there are a load in and it's taking time to go through them . They will let us know in time.

Oh not a chance but it's the waste of a position I'm most p***ed at, and if someone is caught out to have cheated their way to stage 3, there should be a full ban to future applications from that canditate, making a bolix out of everyone who actually stuck to the rules and was honest, cheers for the info on the appeals!

Greta P

could somebody tell me whch group of which band is going for stage 3 at the moment? i got so confused

Boult

Its bands 2/3 from stage 1 that did stage 2 test and top 500 from that now doing stage 3.

Greta P

ok, thank u

Greta P

and do u know by any chance when the following people will get to do stage 3?

Boult

By the following people you mean 501-1294 no not sure really but i would say it could be soon enough. For the first Phase there was 3100 that got to stage 3 of the 5000 this time of the 7000 band 2/3 only 1294 passed so things will move alot quicker i'd say

Greta P

oh ok, i hope this could be soon cant wait anymore

Boult

I'm down for the test on Monday. I hope i pass but if not its not the end of the world.
