Garda Recruitment - Stage 3

Dublingarda

Qualifying score for job simulation is 400. I am a bit off it so I don't see the point in asking for a recheck.

ppaddy

Anyone know the pass score for report writing

Dublingarda

There was no exact score. You had a few requirements to pass eg structure , correct cobtebt and grammar.

The job simulation was definately my downfall. I passed everything but that was definately my weakest. I found different prep companies were offering the answers for the same questions in different orders which makes you query which ones actually know what they are talking about. As a Reserve I also felt that what they expected on paper may not be the realistic thing to do at the time, as I'm sure is the case with most Garda scenarios.

Dublingarda

Are you going to appeal it??

I passed everything but the simulation was definately by a hair

Just sent my email for the appeal, I got 692 in both my job simulation and report writing but verbal/logical not verified, I couldn't understand this, in section 1 & 2 I passed but always on the low side, I got grinds leading up to section 3 so try help more on verbal/logical, duno where I went wrong, unless I panicked on the day n had a disaster so pissed off..

Tara I'm in the exact same boat as you! Devastated, sent mine off last night.
Let's hope we hear soon!!!!

ppaddy

Yes why not! ,where do you send recheck/appeal?

Hupp15

I'm also wondering the same. I'd like to appeal it today but am not sure where to send my appeal.

tara321

It tells you in your public jobs where to send the appeal, gives you an email address, very straight forward.

It's only very straight forward for people who didn't have Analytical and Verbal verified. They are being given a chance to appeal.

People who failed Report writing and Job Simulation are not being given appeal option.

Hupp15

That's true. I wasn't given the option as I failed job simulation. That's why I was wondering does anyone know how to do it in these circumstances.

I think if you were to take away positives - new campaign is only round the corner(December afaik)
All will be fresh in your head and you will fly through to stage 3.
Then you will be more focussed and Job Sim you will find easier.
Onto stage 4

I got my results Saturday and passed everything bar my inductive/logical reasoning which did'nt verify. when i first done it in stage 2 i had never really practiced them and only passed by one point. this time i had got some practice in and just kind of got the hang of them and im certain i done much better. it seems silly to get knocked out for getting a better score. Im gonna appeal it but not too hopeful after ringing public jobs just there. :-(

lyonsie01

iv set up a new thread about the appeals, if any one has any info can ye add it to the thread as its very hard to go through all the pages on this thread

I failed job simulation at stage 3. You can ask for a recheck (although minus chance it will make a difference is what I have gathered). Just email them and ask for recheck. On the other hand there seems to be a lot of confusion around the instructions for job simulation so perhaps this is grounds for appeal? ?? Some people answered every question in each senario add though they were independent whereas others ranked each of the questions in order of merit. That is they would have given one question a rating of excellent another good another adequate and so on. The instructions are to blame I think. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Yes, I would agree also someone at the back end of exam room is not going to hear instruction as good,or see screen as those a few rows up, or at front!

Hupp15

I emailed the garda recruitment email and the public jobs to ask how you appeal but neither replied to me. I can't see anything changing anyway. I was gonna put my hand up before it started to check but I stupidly didn't but they probably wouldn have told me anyway. Instru

PMMG

Got a letter regarding my recheck of job simulation test. Exactly as I expected, result still the same. At this point I don't really mind because I know that the new campaign is starting soon but I really hope they change the format of testing this time round because lots of people seem to be having issues with it.

Jammydodger123

Unverified on the logical/inductive reasoning....absolutely gutted the process would break your heart...who's to say that those who passed stage 3 would even be suitable for the guards...they could fail at the interview stage...the whole thing is some **** show and now the aim to is score in the top 600 out of over 20,000 people in the new competition..

Yea that's the one. You should get an automatic email saying that your email had been recievedone.

lyonsie01

im confused as to why my Inductive/Logical Reasoning Test is verified and my verbal reasoning is not? wouldnt you think that both would be unverified as you have to do it in one sitting in all tests?! or why they dont give you the score like they have done in the previous stages. what the best way around the appeal, what are people saying in the emails back to them?

forevergreen

What does "unverified" mean? It doesn't match up with your results from stage 2???
But can it mean that you have scored too high in comparison?

lyonsie01

. As outlined in the test familiarisation material, a test result is ‘Not Verified’ if there is a significant inconsistency between the unsupervised and the supervised test result. If the two test scores are at a similar level, the test result is ‘Verified’.
it dosnt state if you score low or high, ud presume that it would just be if you scored lower than the pervious 2

tara321

Just an e-mail to resit my verbal and inductive on the 18th after I appealed it.

I sat my stage 3 on the 19oct 2pm.

lyonsie01

got mine too for the 18th. fingers crossed now

D Trent

What kind of wording did you put in your emails to be asked to attend a resit?

lyonsie01

for thoses resitting, what did you fail on? was it both verbal reasoning and inductive reasoning or did you pass one and have on not varified??

just explain why you think they should give you a resit, thats what i did

tomcwn

im re sitting on the 18th too. my inductive/logical reasoning didn't verify but i have to resit both.At least its another chance. Im pretty certain i got a much better score in stage 3 so now all i have to do is try not do as well as i did on stage 3. Doesnt make sense to me.

Surely it's only 'not verified' if you score better on stage 2 than stage 3? It's frustrating that they can't tell us the score difference

tara321

Did anyone pass the appeal of section 3? Just logged into my public jobs after receiving the e-mail and I've been successful for section 4 on January 12th over the moon was sure I didn't pass.

Could anybody tell me how much leeway one is given for the report writing please? Do you have to get pretty much all the information?

There is a marking scheme and you have to get the required ammount of points in each of the following to pass

Content
Accuracy of content
Grammar and spelling
Structure and layout.

Think thats all the sections they mark you on.
If you fall down in one you fail the whole report.

Lads, just passes pct on Tuesday. do we get any notification about what to do next? or any idea when we might be called to start in Templemore?
