    "It doesn't give the qualifying standard on the booklet"

    I need to know how close I was to passing cause I'm appealing the report writing exam because I've scored very high on the other three exams but need to know if there's a point to following up as if I'm on 1 point off or 10 points off a passing grade.

    Because if the threshold was 36 I'd need 1 point to pass, Do you see what I mean?

    A previous poster said they passed this year on 38 and failed last year on 35 if I understood correctly.

    Does anyone know what happens now? First 137 will go straight away but I presume the rest of us will go through on the next two months also?

    How many options did the people in the first 137 get to book an interview date?

    We can book from the 17th to the 27th of september

    Guys do ye mind me asking how ye scored in the report writing? Don't have to give an exact score if ye don't want, I just want an idea of how much it let me down. I scored 56 myself.

    Also, booked the interview for this day 3 weeks. Am working so my thought process was to have it early in the week so I'm not knackered from work! Will also spend the weekend fully concentrated on it.

    I got 60 in the report but then only 41 in job simulations. Still in the 300's though so I'm happy out!

    How’d it let you down? You got through lol. I’m leaving it late as I can so I can get prep done and few bits together. Need to order my L.C results as I can’t find them.

    It doesn't look like they provided it this time. They didn't give me a score for indictive/verbal reasoning. Just said pass.

    I’d say that’s because they were checked against our stage one results, we had to be approx 10%above or below what we got first time around.

    Hey I passed all the exams but placed in the 500s, missing out on the first group to be called for interview. Just wondering is it likely I’ll get called for an interview or would it be a case of having to apply again and score higher?

    If you qualified, you will get called for an interview. It'll just be a little further down the line.

    I dropped over a hundred places from stage 1 and felt I did better on the verbal and non-verbal tests. They obviously didn't increase/reduce your score. Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy, I was worried I might have failed the report writing after all.

    Seems like job stimulation is a tough one, I have my stage 2 this week and was wondering if anyone knows the marking scheme for it? Even though marking good and excellent are seen as positive answers will there be a difference in marks for selecting either? Thanks in advance

    I’m not sure of the marking scheme atm but think of yourself in the role of a Garda and pick what best suits the situation.

    Oh I get you now. I think logical/verbal retests were basically to compare against stage 1 to make sure it was ourselves who did them. The marks this time we’re for the new tests and maybe order or merit then based on stage 1 and 2 together. I’m not sure but I went from 500s to 100s. Which I think was drastic change so that’s the way I’m thinking.

    Did stage 2 this morning. Thought it was fine myself. Scenario for report writing was very quick, struggled to get everything down but got the important parts.

    Does anyone know usually how many are dropped as such from stage 2. As in do only x amount go through.

    Thanks

    Fair play, you obviously did exceptionally well in those. Yea I think it was a combined scored from job sim, report and stage 1. I suppose it doesn't matter too much now, once you get passed the interview, pass the medical/fitness and get all signed off you're laughing.

    Once you get the required grade you go through. Whether they abide by a bell curve or not is anyone's guess, but with the OOM system there's not much need I suppose.

    Just wondering does anyone have any idea when interviews will commence for those of us outside of the first 137? I scored 513 in the OOM and I'm paranoid I'll just miss out on stage 3.

    You won't miss out on Stage 3, if you passed Stage 2, you will get an interview. I'm in the mid 400s myself.

    Verbal, non-verbal job simulation (similar too stage 1) and report writing.

    I don't think the stage 2 verbal and abstract reasoning can have you moved up the OOM, since they're not marked. 

    Anyway, does anybody know how many people are gonna get into the College in this campaign? I've read something like 800, am I wrong?
