What dates are available for stage 3. got the email last night as I placed in the 900's. it says the 15th but then it says it'll be run over a few days. does anyone know these days?

Greta P

i think we will know the dates only tomorrow cause we can start registering from tomorrow

iane87

I'm going to the rugby world cup 10th-20th Oct so i'll need a date after that. if they have dates after that well in good, otherwise its bye bye guards.

Greta P

i think they should because they are only starting on 15th and its about 700 people so they will need a bit of time

Greta P

so the dates are 15th 16th and all following week

Anybody wear a suit to this? I know it's says in the familiarisation booklet, dress comfortably and appropriately but was just wondering?

I really dont think theres much point wearing a suit to be honest. Im just going to wear a shirt and jeans I think.

Got my appeal back! No joy as I expected! Not too disappointed tbh, best of luck to you all. It will be a tough job but I'm sure you all will do great.

I'm Just back from mine today, was considering wearing a suit, glad I didn't lol, casual is fine for stage 3

I'm really sorry to hear that Maria79. Haven't heard back myself yet. I don't suppose they mentioned a norm group or what level of norm group your scores were measured against?

Maria79

Did you check your public jobs messages? No mention of that . Just that they sent it back to the test company who checked them in the first place and result came out the same. I kinda knew if that was the way they were going to do it, the result would be the same, as its not done manually! I was 1 point out! Anyhow, I'm not to bothered now, would of loved to got to stage 3, but sure that's life! I can't see any change tbh to anyone results on the recheck when it's done by computer! But you never know! Best of luck anyhow and let us know how U do!

Maria79

Oh I've just remembered, when I called about the appeal they said our results are put against the first group that did stage 2 back at the very start , year or 2 ago, so they have set the bench mark if you know what I mean!

Elliot192

Thanks for the heads up. Just checked my public jobs messages.

The outcome remains the same. I'm gutted. My verbal reasoning scores were so unexpected in comparison to all the practice tests I'd done! But I have to say the blow has been softened by the kind and comprehensive e-mail from the Recruitment Unit. Kudos to them. It helped.

Will have to study up on SHL tests! If Band 1 from Stage 1 & 2 set the bar, I'm guessing we'll have to set practice tests to graduate/managerial level for the next recruitment drive! Bring it on.

Is there many people here that have done the stage 3 tests.
I completed mine early this month.And i was wondering when are the results due out?

I'd say they will be out this week. they said they would be out mid October.

Just a Language question. I failed Irish in the LC. If I pass Stage 3 how long roughly could I have to do an exam to get my eligible? I speak decent German but don't have a piece of paper that says that. I just thought myself.

Any advice or help will be useful. If I was to start doing Irish again it would almost be from scratch. A few months for an exam I think I could do but anything shorter would have me in trouble.

Hey lads I'm sitting stage 2 on the 29th of July is there anyone here doing it that late? I wonder will we have a lot of time between that and the rest of the stages or are we the last to fill Templemore? Does anyone have any good sites to practice the aptitude tests? Im dreading the fitness parts...Thanks in advance. Gary!

You'll be grand. Get started now and it wont be a problem. I'd advise you to read through older posts and you''ll get loads of tips and advise. Most of your questions will have already been asked and answered. Good luck!

Thanks AM11

Doing a stock take of my previous assessment centre performance and I'm just curious as to what the max score in the report writing exercise?

Just want to know to see if it needs improvement for this new campaign.
