Garda Recruitment Stage 2 --- 2016/2017

seanryan58

Hi all,

Applied for the most recent campaign and just completed stage 1, got through it no problem and invited to stage 2. Is the where I can post and discuss upcoming supervised tests and results or is there a specific thread for this new campaign. Just so I know how people got on, when they get their results etc...

just wondering has everyone received their confirmation message regarding stage 2, I rang last Friday and agreed to attend this Tuesday but still heard nothing. is everyone in the same boat?

I didnt either, had mine this morning and they hadn't got my name on the list so they just took my ID again and advised they had issues sending out all the emails. It's informal so jeans and shirt are fine!

Mark37

Raj08 do you think I should ring or just wait for a few days an see? I was told on the telephone that it will last 3 hours, but a big part of it is watching a presentation by the Guards about the Organisation.

I tried to ring and couldn't get through but I'd call today as no harm in double checking . It's closer to 4 hours than 3 too!

Can anyone tell me what has come up in their stage 2? I wonder does everyone receive the same test?

1. Is the verbal and abstract the exact same test as we done at home online for stage 1?
2. What came up for report writing? - Car crash etc, robbery etc?
3. Job Simulation - Similar to stage 1?

Has anyone done courses to help them?

Regards,
Marc

everyone doesn't receive the exact same test.

1. verbal and abstract will be of the same format but not necessarily the exact same test.
2. Report writing scenarios are protected by a confidentiality agreement.
3. Job sim is similar to stage 1, the same format but not necessarily the same questions.

I also have a friend that placed 1400 and he isn't getting called till the new year for stage 2
Another has placed 1800 and is getting called for week 14th - 18th November.
And another friend has booked in for his stage 2 on the Wednesday 9th November but received an email on Monday 7th November that they have over booked on that date and have rescheduled him to Saturday 12th November.

How does this system work?

Regards,
Marc

No tests take place on the weekend?
I was told before mine was a saturday instead of a Friday,
Rang up and was told someone made a mistake as the PAS is only open Monday to Friday.

MarcSG

Friend did his on Saturday 12/11/2016 so that's incorrect.

Lads this is a wild shot but my brother has his stage 2 test tomorrow morning in Chapter House and he just realised they never sent him the test familiarisation material, nor a list of items to bring along with him.

Can any of you kind folk tell me what he needs to bring?

Tell him to log into his public jobs account and check his messages tab.

He gave me his login details, they definitely didn't send it. He has a message saying "Ring this phone number to book your slot for stage 2 test." Then "Thank you for booking your slot, your details are below. Please see previous email for familiarisation material along with list of items to bring".

I've attached screenshots. No attachments.

Look at The message with the results of stage 1

So i was due to have my stage 2 assessment today at 8.30 had car trouble and missed it iv tried calling them but no answer and i cant find any other numbers to call.
(id say because they don't open until 9.30)
Does this mean i am withdrawn from the process or will they fit me in at a different time slot?

Thanks in advance

The tests themselves last approximately 2 hours, then there's an hour break and then there's a 30 minute presentation

That's not necessarily true, I had my orientation first and then straight into my tests, no break!

Well I definitely got a higher score in the discover rules, and I answered more questions this time in the verbal reasoning. So I hope my results won't conflict with my stage 1 results. Job sim and report writing were ok I taught. How did you find them?

Resus_Medic

On tomorrow at 11:15

Will garda agecard do as a form of ID?

Cheers RM

I found the report writing and job sim both fairly good, verbal reasoning I feel I done abit better than stage 1(which was a fairly good score) , but the discovering rules where I got full marks in stage 1 I only got 17 answered in stage 2. I do feel I got them all right though, so fingers crossed!

I find job simulation questions strange in that most of my responses were positive very few negatives.
Report writing was ok expect I forgot the name of one witness but got every other detail said

Well was there a question about a noise complaint in yours near the end of the questions?

Yeah, from a neighbour?

wlynch1984

Anyone know roughly what percentage of people fail stage 2? Or what the failure rate for the report writing and job simulation is??

Yep that was it

Does anybody know if the Qualifying scores are the same for Stage 2 as Stage 1?

MrBlack93

Qualifying scores mean nothing in stage 2. In stage 2 you must "verify" your score from stage 1 meaning you must score a similar score to that you scored in stage 1

During the orientation for those who did it last week we were informed end of November.

For those doing it this week it'll probably be different.

When are the Stage 2 tests finished?
