    I haven't completed part one yet. I'm thinking of doing it today or on Monday.

    I'm super nervous about the process. It's my second time applying and I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up again.

    How are you feeling about it?

    I'm super nervous. As soon as I got the email to do stage 1, I just completed and submitted it straight away cause it would of been nagging at me.

    I'm more nervous of the appitude test because from friends applying before, they've told me (whether to frighten me or not) that if you don't do well in that then they don't bother giving you the next stages. If I do, also the interview process will knock me for 6

    With respect, I don't think you've anything to worry about. Only 5000+ applied this time round which is not a lot, and they want to get as many people in while the labour is still cheap and they can get away with it.

    You'll have done just fine ...

    I hope that's true for me too I've done preparation courses and alot of practice tests or as much as i could do with the information given at least to try and get into the guards, its not about the money for me but more so going after what I've always wanted to be . What is the number they are taking on out of that 5000 ?applied for prison officers and passed but placed 10 places short so passing this would be extra sweet.

    Only 5,000 applied for this recruitment drive. They will probably make the pass mark very low to get their numbers.

    I just completed the aptitude tests there. In my opinion as well, I think it was harder than earlier in the year.
    Both tests were harder and I completely messed up with time on the abstract reasoning only answered the 1st 14 but think I got them all right not sure if it will be enough tho.

    Just Hoping really that the pass mark is low and I get a shot at the assessment centre -best of luck everyone.

    Abstract was definitely easier this time round. Verbal was more or less the same.

    Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone who has done stage one could help me out, I know, well I think I know, the first test you do post application is a self assessment questionnaire, what does this involve, also what other tests is there, and how do you do them, do you get then through email, thanks in advance.
