    You may not be cut out for AGS if you are unable to pass the aptitude tests. They are by definition a test of your aptitude for the job so failing may be a blessing in disguise

    Is it me or am I missing information on these questions?

    It's telling me to select the end of the pattern from the A to E but its not showing me a pattern to start with?

    I figured it out.

    no matter how long i looked at that i still couldnt understand it:o

    I'm not having a go at you but not all jobs have these kind of tests. There is a reason for them.

    Why did some idiots apply when they don't even have the leaving cert. they are just taking up places for other people and holding up the process. Hopefully some people will drop out.

    Are u sure of this because i know someone in band 3 that hasnt been called and im fairly sure they are doing it as they intended eg band 1 then band two and maybe band 3 as the minister said. Maybe he is in band 2?

    Yes I'm sure as when I got called forward in January and realised how quick PAS were going through Band 1 so Band 2 would likely be called I got him to double check which one he placed in as we were trying to see if he stood a chance or not and he placed low in Band 3... needless to say he is over the moon!

    Yea id say both were called. I found out since the lad i was onto didnt pass stage 1, i was full sure he was in band 3. Id say they know that a good few wont do it so thats why they are just getting us all to do it now instead of just getting band 2 and end up with poor turn out and then have to go and get band 3 anyway

    How long is the process? When is it likely that people from Band 2 or 3 can expect to be in Templemore doing their Training?

    When I passed stage 2 I heard nothing for 11 months about doing stage 3, and since that email in Jan I've completed all stages and hope to be in templemore in October... so from stage 2 that would be roughly a 20 month wait, and that's with out any delays along the way...

    but I should point out the top 600 people who passed with the highest marks started going down by last August .... Of the 5,000 of Band 1 who did stage 2, 3100 passed it and I was in the middle of those...

    It depends on how high you score in stage 2 you score too low your gone. The highest scoters will be brought forward straight away but if you are down the list a bit you could be waiting a long time.

    Well the 3100 of band 1 who all passed stage 2 have now all been called to the later stages 18 or so months after stage 2 so yes there's a wait involved but for a career spanning at least 30 years it's nothing really!

    I was within the age limits when I applied. I'm now over them and got messaged to do the assessments again. Don't know if there's any point.

    Well age limit only applies to the closing date of application so it dosnt matter what age u are now. Only thing that matters is if you want it or not
