Number 384 checking in. I can confirm, I've no skin on my teeth left. Got a score of 104.

Snap!

Total score of 129 and placed 22

Scored well. Now hopefully we get rid of a decent chunk people in the supervised tests! For those who did not pass this time, practice and getting comfortable with the testing methods of the CS will probably do the trick for the next competition. For most adults it is a while since you did leaving cert maths / verbal reasoning / logical reasoning etc. The timer throws people for a loop.

There's generally a fair amount of no shows at stage two, I'd say with it only being two days, it won't suit a lot of people

Does anyone know how many jobs there are?

I also got 104pts and placed 384 .One of at least 3 posters in total here claim same score.
I'm unlikely to travel for test unless I can be sure second test is from scratch for all who passed.

Same here! Got the same points and OOM

Flippyfloppy

Well done crunchymomma, that's amazing! I got points and that put me in yyrd place. I feel like there won't be many jobs in my location though!

Mac0783

I wonder could we add a poll and see what locations are most popular?

I'd be hoping for Westmeath but if the location is the far side of Mullingar, perhaps Galway would be a better location for me.

Crunchymomma

I hope we hear today regarding next stage as I have just received word that I am meant to hsve work related training that week that might clash so would like to be able to sort out asap

Crunchymomma

Invites are out! Thankfully able to book in ourselves

MedPsych

Great that we can book ourselves!

Does anyone know is the "smart centre" referring to the PAS offices or somewhere else? Just trying to sort travel and work out how long will be there for trains etc?

Many thanks!

Would you please gives a google map link that pinpoint the exact location?
I can't seem to find any smart center in Abbey Street

It’s the Public Appointments Services’ office.

marmieB

Yeah, I know that bit is a bit confusing, but once you actually book, you get a confirmation e mail and that lists the PAS offices on Abbey street. Perhaps a mistake on their part?

Is anyone else missing a 'My bookings' tab?

No. It's always located on the left side of the page, even when you have no bookings to use.

It's grand I phoned PAS! Because I had the additional requirements checked, I didn't have the option to self-book, thus no tab! All sorted now!

Ah, that explains it. Hope you got a good date!

Well done to all who have been invited to the next stage! Has anyone any advice on how to prepare or where to find additional tests etc? Also is there any individual or agency out there that provides interview practice/preparation. Thanks in advance!

Crunchymomma

Maldesu

I'm up Friday too.

Mac0783

Crunchymomma

I'm up Thursday at twelve

SomeSayKos

Thursday myself

Crunchymomma

Anyone get pre test info yet?

ArtfulPodger

Friday here too. Good luck guys.

Goldenbacon

Hi guys, I was just wondering if these tests carry significance moving forward in the selection process ? I.e are these tests used to whittle the numbers down until the interview stage, where we get to show our skills etc, or are these scores still looked at when deciding to select an appropriate candidate. Thanks

SomeSayKos

Both I think

gabbyannie

Just got the pre-familiarisation document for Stage Two. I’m on the Friday. Good luck to all of you!

Yes! Don’t know how I feel about that.. Especially when you’re used to a certain calculator brand or whatever.

Crunchymomma

Calculators are always provided by pas for these tests

Maldesu

They usually have a selection of them too, so you could probably switch if you weren't happy with the one they give you. None are scientific though, just the standard fare

Assuming, we will get passing score, score and order of merit again after stage two?

I know, no one knows for certain but would anyone speculate as to whether the AGS will run a HEO comp this year? I think the last time they ran the EO one they ran a HEO one shortly after?

Crunchymomma

Good luck to everyone up tomorrow!!! Anyone up at 12 I will be the frazzled looking Galwegion that's probably running late hahaha

Yup should be

Lads, does anyone know if they accept your invite to the test on your phone, (showing them the email) or does it have to be printed out?

You should be fine with it on the phone, they only glance at it. Best of luck!
