Whitsundays93

Got good news today! Placed in the 300's. Is anyone unable to make a booking for phase 2? When I go into the my bookings section on Public Jobs it says I have no bookings available Hopefully it will update itself soon.

Also can anyone tell me if the fitness test happens in Phase 2 or is that later?

dave143

BuzzMcdonnell

I also can’t book anything at the moment, I’m sure we’ll be able to soon.

Stage 2 is repeat of verbal and logical along with report writing and job simulation exercises.
Stage 3 interview
Then fitness
Then medical

That's a relief, I'm recovering from a knee injury do was worried I wouldn't pass the bleep test! Better start training :P

Congrats to everyone and good luck in the next round!

Well done everyone for getting through and best of luck

Whitsundays93

The booking page has just opened for me!

LuimneachLad15

Placed mid 1000s, should I keep the faith that I’ll get through or anyone have an idea?

sazxox

Booking open

maryf97

Placed in the 700’s! Was very doubtful I’d progress so I’m quite happy. Well done to everyone!

Kevin17W

I would advise anyone that passed and is invited to stage 2 regardless of placing number to go and complete it, you never know where your luck is.
We were told before that many don’t complete the process and some fail various stages so again you never know a mid 1000 could easily end up a high hundred later on in the process

I passed skin of my teeth 😂 delighted didn't get into the 900s but it's something.

First time taking the exam. Placed early 2000s. Anyone know what the chances are of actually progressing or should I give up all hope now?

EventHorizon88

Missed out on 1 point in the assessment questionnaire due to messing up with how i answered my first few questions. Scored high in the other exams though. I wonder would i be at anything asking for a recheck of results?

SquireD

Got placed 362 so delighted with that!

Congrat's to all on results, regardless of your number, it was not an easy Stage to start with!! :eek:

No harm in asking, the worst that can happen is that they say no.

You’ll be waiting years, fresh application next year will do rightly

Anyone know how many people actually applied???

I failed by 1 point too in verbal comprehension and I just emailed them to see and they said they would recheck it for me and get back to me

Weird didn’t think more then one person could get the same number

Possibly you got equal scores in all the tests?

Yeah I saw your comment and thought it was very strange. 🙊

lucymangoo96

Never been as happy, got in the late 200's.. honestly thought that was then end of me when I did those tests!

I see they've lowered the pass mark considerably. Makes sense seeing as everyone found them so difficult.

You won’t be called for a fitness test until at least December.

Hi Guys

Is anyone else deferring their stage 2? I heard they have another round in September or October.

JackB27

I placed in the early 600’s. I am delighted as I really struggled with the logical reasoning assessment. I will have to do some work on them for Stage 2. Well done to every one who passed. To all who didn’t keep your heads up there is always next time.

Is that a new intake in sept?

Monkeysgomad

How do they mark them? I did fairly well above all qualifying scores obviously I f*cked up the timing leaving it open all day. Didn’t make the first 900 thkugh

Crafty_Veteran

No not a new intake. I think its just another round of Stage 2 for people who need to defer etc. I'm just waiting for further confirmation

I did the exact same, ranked 1299. Scored high in all 3 but I’d say I took too long in doing them and that’s why I’m placed where I am. Anyone any idea how much of an impact timing takes on results ?

Wonder how many rounds they will do out if this intake

Slic

I passed just over 2000 but I was shocked not seen a timer I thought i was still doing examples at one point I clicked in on a new page and about to log back in to restart, I was thinking on getting out of it and restarting, I'm glad I didn't thou, Just a wait to be called in.

Ciano1997

Huge congratulations to all who received results! If you passed and progressed onto stage 2. Well done! I got an OOM of 2000’s which isn’t great! But glad to have passed. I guess it’s a longer wait for anyone over the 900’s pass mark.. wish everyone going forward! Let’s smash it! 😊

Anyone have any idea how many places are available for this years recruitment?

I think they expect to take in 800 for training in 2020, but this will include candidates from previous recruitment drives too.

I am sure this has happened previously! Ye have placed all at 1899. That's just your result. That's all. OOM is given when you get stage 2 results, everyone then has a unique OOM (Order of Merit).


EDIT: Passed myself.

There was a number set at 800 but then I read somewhere than Drew Harris reduced it to 600. By 2020 it’ll be the last recruitment and they hope to reach the force increased target. After that I’d shame they’d focus more of reserves and then probably won’t recruit till years down the line.
