    Would I be right in saying that 1,900 people from Band 2 are now bumbed up into Band 1 seen as 1,900 people are out of the running as of yesterday.

    1900 places closer to be called than they were this time yesterday. But they are still in Band 2. Band 1 now contains 3100 people.

    No you still have to pass stage 2!!! It's like having a game in hand, but rather have the three pints. Can't wait to see how many from band 2 fail stage 2 since they couldn't make band 1 :D

    I think the report writing is where some people might have trouble but the rest should be fine.

    Yeah, the report writing is an unknown quantity, no idea how I'll do with that one! I could be brilliant or terrible, only one way to find out!

    I'd assume the report writing will be similar to what the reserves have done? Could be wrong.

    They'll probably supply ye with information of an incident and see if ye can write up a concise report, disregarding all the BS and including vital info.

    Would actually be of the opinion that the report writing ill be very straight forward to most, considering ye would have smashed the verbal reasoning.

    Best of luck

    Yeah, we will watch a video, take notes and then we are given 30 minutes to write a report.

    Best of luck to some of you in the report writing exercise, you'll need it if you can't read a simple 9 page document and remember it!

    Oh I would say so, I would be very surprised if they got more than the first intake of 100 people from that 600. Who knows though. I'm in the 600 and I'm moving on with my life with other plans, if I get in well and good but I'm not banking on it!

    My own opinion is that they will prob break the 300 jobs into 2 batches. So, I think that the 600 that have gone forward to Stage 3 are for 150 jobs. That would make sense as you would have 3 or 4 interviewing for one job. Some will drop out of the 600 for various reasons, medical, physical competency test, educational requirements etc. So, I'd say they'll bring forward another 600 for the next batch of 150 jobs.

    Surely they will cut people at stage 3 aswell though, maybe 200?

    Do you think so? I was kind of thinking that they'll just verify results from Stage 1 and Stage 2.

    That's part a, part b is job simulation and c is report writing. I can't see the point in b and c unless they will be cutting people.

    Wasn't job simulation part of the original questionnaire we did in Stage 1. The only new addition is report writing.

    I'm thinking they will cut 200 as well, purely based on something I read on here or another thread before, that they apparently interview 4 people for every 1 position.

    So, that would mean that they'll only be interviewing for a 100 jobs, cut 600 to 400 after Stage 3?

    No one really knows but I would be very very surprised if they didn't cut people in stage 3.

    Sure it's all speculation. After what happened this time, I think it's almost impossible to guess. We all thought it was harsh to only allow 5,000 out of 25,000 to go forward to Stage 2. And then they became more ruthless only allowing 600 to go through out of 5,000. Never saw that coming myself.

    I would be amazed if they interview 4 people for every 1 job. There will probably be a cut of around 100 in stage 3 at the most. I would see them 500 going forward for an interview with 150 starting in July and maybe another 150 on a panel. Only a minimal amount of people will lose out due to physical & educational requirements. My thoughts on the matter, and Yes I am in stage 3.

    I can't see 300 successful candidates coming from the 600, by that I mean 150 going through in July and another 150 on the panel. All that we've had so far are 2 sets of online testing. Nothing else had been taken into account.
