I went through the irish stream and got results on Tuesday

Did you already qualify through the normal stream though? If so, then that is why you got them. I don't recall anybody else on here from the Irish stream stating that they received them. Somebody mentioned 24th April I think.

Isn't it on the PAS home page that the irish stream will receive results on the 24th. Next week. At least they know a date. Everyone else guessed and stressed

When I contacted Pas asking them about the irish stream they told me that the irish will not be assessed until the interview stage and until then everyone was going through the normal stream as they didn't no the level of people's irish..I'm a bit confused now as to the "irish" stream as I was told I was in both..
Is it a case that some people failed at earlier stages but got a re sit due to applying as having irish???

its probably because the irish stream sat the stage 3 a week after the English stream, they probably corrected them after all English ones were corrected, yea we were told that there was no difference between English and irish stream at this stage and everyone would be marked the same, its my understanding that there kept separate because they need a minimum 10% fluent irish speakers to go into Templemore, its just to make sure they get that, but im sure if more than 10% scored well then there could be more of them go through as there more than likely all fluent in English too.

amlk

If they were kept separate then I would of done the tests with the irish stream..

Can anyone gone through the "irish stream" verify what there understanding of it is??

Yet again mycro you ask a question that nobody here is able to answer.

Your only going to get speculation in reply, not fact.

Only asking, someone could have stated something to those that were called to the assessment centre....

What's the harm in trying. Email or ring chapter house and provide proof of flights.

KERSPLAT!

I don't think they'll change but I'd definitely try!

Sorry, I misread. I have no idea if anyone took a retest sorry.

I've had a good read through this thread regarding Stage 3 and maybe I have missed it but I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long the video is that the report writing is based on?
I know we have 30 mins to write up the report after but just curious how long the video will be - i.e. how much information will they relay, that we have to make note of.
Thanks

Carroller

I dont think many people were discussing that as when we were doing stage 3 we had to sign to secrecy and not discuss what went on in stage 3. I imagine it will be the same for this current group going in.

Scouser

best of luck to all

we warmed em up for yas!

mrDerek

for the life of me i cant remember what i used to average on SHL but iv been gettin between 3.7 and 3.88 each time on those practice tests anyone remember if that was a decent score?

mickaleen

Yes anything in or around 3.51 and 4.5 was a very good score.....

mrDerek

cheers mate

Lads,

just had a read of the familiarisation material for this and it mentions

1. If you are claiming eligibility for the Garda Trainee under your Leaving Certificate (LC) please bring your Examination number with you (this can be found on your LC results certificate).

Not sure what they mean here, does everyone need to bring their Exam no. with them? I sat my LC about 15 yrs ago...not sure where to find it..! Thanks

ShiverinEskimo

We had to submit our actual leaving cert results which had our exam and candidate number on them.

They may be saving people having to do this by just getting the exam number and cross referencing with the awards body.

In any case you can request a reissue of your cert online. Costs about 14 euro and takes two weeks. I had to do this because I brought the little yellow slip of provisional results issued by my school rather than my actual leaving cert.

Any one any idea where I could find the link to practise the aptitude tests? I found a Facebook page last week, where a guy gave the link to the page that I think was the one we received in the emails but can't for the life of me find it again!
Also can't find the link in my emails
Thanks!

Hey Jenny,
The website is www.shldirect.com
then you just log on like you did for the stage 2 tests etc. Username and the likes. Then click on verbal reasoning or inductive and that should be you

If you just give the dept of education a ring they will give you your LC number pretty hassle free!

Thanks, will do.

What are people wearing to this, I would have though jeans/t-shirt as its not an interview, or should you be wearing shirt/slacks?

StevieF3

There was a real mixed bag in regards to how people were dressed when I was there, some were wearing suits and then others werre extremely casual. I wouldn't worry too much about it in any case.

Yeah, it's all fairly faceless. Within reason whatever you want.

Anyone studying for stage 3 think it is unfair that on the verbal reasoning we have no practice material provided to us? The SHL website where we were doing practice tests for stage 2 have changed their type of verbal reasoning practice test.

How are we supposed to match our scores from stage 2 (which we done nearly 6 months ago) if they took down the practice material?

cojomo2

How did anyone get on today? Found it all fine apart from the las 10 or so questions in the shapes test...seemed to be harder than I remembered last time.

Many days of stage 3 left for this group ?

I'd say Friday we'll get results, but I think we'll have to wait a little longer for an interview date

How much did you write? I found it to be simplistic enough but that doesn't mean I passed it, it's anyone's guess. Wat are u worried about

I would love to discuss it but I would get in trouble . Let's just say I think I missed something important out , but who knows . I'm not feeling very positive about it but then again I said that in the other rounds aswell but here I am what date did you do the exams ?
