Alright guys, been watching the feed from early on in the process but first post. 65-70 second phase of fast track, failed my pca first time but passed on the first familiarisation session. Nothing more than having the wrong perception of it, atleast that’s me back on track now. What was the time scales for medical dates after your pca? Cheers everyone

I was at that first support session, so pleased to hear you passed good luck with the rest

How come you failed the pca is it more challenging that it looks or what happened

If you watch the YouTube video it looks like a brisk jog? Don’t rely upon that I learnt the hard way,Balls to the wall will get you passed no problem.

I was thinking if I was lucky to get in I would randomly drop peoples names into conversations to see if anyone responds with “boardie!”

Adam West

Perhaps a secret challenge and code

"John has a long moustache"

To be responded to with

"Wounds my heart with a monotonous langour"

In this for the long haul! Fingers crossed they don't scrap the list before they get through it.

Don’t understand why they do that, doesn’t make much sense to start a new campaign with people still on a merit list deemed fit for the job.

They want the best folk for the job there will be people who will score really well at AC who were too young to apply this time...

If they can engineer a situation were they have a constant pool they will. As they can then just keep taking high scorers.

It makes perfect sense

Then why set the “pass” mark at 50, and actually lower it for this campaign? If they want the best why not have a 70 pass mark which is classed as “very good” or even a 60. I understand they need an adequate amount of people going through but surely those numbers could be made up of 60+ scorers and then recruit when that list is dry.

Contingency planning in case the money for Autumn 2018 campaign falls through the floor

2001-2009 PSNI recruitment, by the time the next campaign's merit list was ready to go and the first batch appointable all those below a certain scored were just chinned off...

Hence why you had the situation were people could be live in multiple campaigns...

But it hasnt been dropped?

Recruitment was frozen and the only thing they dropped was 50/50 and havent had rolling recruitment since 2009.

No point worrying about it until it happens and it's literally 50/50 whether it does or not.

Think AC pass score was dropped this year to 50 whereas in previous years it was 52 & 54. I scored 59 and would have preferred to be told I’m out than get brought through the stages then get binned lol

Just because some one scored well at AC doesn't mean they will pass the other stages. If you nail the PCA and pass the rest you could be in. Rather that score a high ac and fail at medical or PCA.

The AC scores are independent of each other. Just because 1509's was higher than 1710s doesn't mean it was "lowered"

It's just like GCSEs grading criteria shifts as per the groups performance as a whole.

Bantebus what do you mean it pays to be a winner

Simple the higher you score the better chance of getting in.

The fitter you are the better chance you have of passing PCA and medical

You's all passed IST and were the winners at that stage.

You's all passes AC and so were the winners at that stage.

Etc etc

Arniez12

Anyone any guesses as to when PCA would be for AC score 59? Even rough estimates from current timescales etc I know it’s hard to judge, but planning holidays and would not want to cancel or postpone my PCA date.

Just because some people have scored high in the ac and have got fast tracked doesn't mean anything alot to be said about doing the job . People might be better at tests than other but the people who score in the middle are probably the best suited . Plus there's people in here only have applied once and got this far and others it's taking a good few attempts. Some of yous are up your own arses

But you have displayed the competencies better than those scored below you so in the eyes of the police are more likely to pass training. As the recruitment process is an evidence led process...

Recruit 6

I agree with somewhat you are saying but some people have had 3 or 4 goes at the ac and that so no wonder they can show the competencies better it's merely acting to mark points

It means they are more than likely going to be in GV before low scorers...in 1509 the most common scores by far were from 60-70 bracket, hundreds of people got this score. Due to recruitment in autumn, if the trend continued for this campaign, there would be no way anyone with score in 50’s would be near GV by the time the new merit list comes out.

Youbcan have somebody who score 49.75 that is super fit, super healthy and would make a brilliant peeler but they have no evidence to show that they are more capable than a 75 scorer...

I hate the phrase but "it pays to be a winner"

Bantebus what do you mean it pays to be a winner

Simple the higher you score the better chance of getting in.

The fitter you are the better chance you have of passing PCA and medical

You's all passed IST and were the winners at that stage.

You's all passes AC and so were the winners at that stage.

Etc etc

Just because some people have scored high in the ac and have got fast tracked doesn't mean anything alot to be said about doing the job . People might be better at tests than other but the people who score in the middle are probably the best suited . Plus there's people in here only have applied once and got this far and others it's taking a good few attempts. Some of yous are up your own arses

How are people scoring in the group average best suited?

Are you on glue? The merit principle applies.

I agree with somewhat you are saying but some people have had 3 or 4 goes at the ac and that so no wonder they can show the competencies better it's merely acting to mark points

Youbcan have somebody who score 49.75 that is super fit, super healthy and would make a brilliant peeler but they have no evidence to show that they are more capable than a 75 scorer...

That's true but I don't think they should singling take about 70 at one time they should take a mixture of score brackets as that then gives everybody a chance to show how good they really are
