    if you have a low score it doesn't matter, on the AC feedback it stated that you need to pass all competencies to make it to the next round, so if you get acceptable in all 7 this would equal to a score of 42, which means you have passed and have a chance to make it to the next round, someone with a score in the 60s doesn't mean they will get through, they could score 10 points in 6 competencies and score 2 points in another one, they haven't passed all competencies so will not go through to next round. it tells you after each competency if you achieved the overall standard to be a police trainee, so if you have a low score don't give up hope. hope this makes sense

    This is correct but I suspect those who failed 1 or more competencies were those who got Fail letters following their AC

    I'm in the same boat. I got 57 and have not recieved vetting/medical forms.

    I did my AC after the freeze announcement, and I'm putting the lack of forms down to that. Might be right, might be wrong but I'm trying to not read too much into it.

    Hey guys, long time no speak - hope all is well for you limbo-ers! Sorry if this has been asked before but does anyone know what the pass mark was for the AC so I can see how much I missed it by (I'm assuming it's a significant amount judging by my feedback score lol)

    I think the pass mark for the AC is somewhere around 42? Open for correction here if anyone knows for sure.

    Isn't there two passes thou 1 for deliotte and other for psni so you get a pass letter but still may have not met the psni pass score therefore getting a pass and dear john

    No, if you have a pass letter from Deloitte then you have reached the required standard, and you go through to the PSNI merit pool of suitable candidates.

    Whether or not you go any further mostly depends on how well you did in comparison with the other candidates. ie if PSNI are looking for 200 candidates, then they take the 200 highest scores. All of this of course subject to Medicals, Vetting, 50:50.

    If and when you get a Dear John, it dosent mean you have failed to achieve a preset pass mark, (remember if you have reached the merit pool, then you are a suitable candidate), it simply means that X number of people have scored higher.

    .

    In my mind thats a 2nd pass as you pass Deloitte then PSNI create another mark that you must have achieved to progress

    For example 42 passes Deloitte but some people on here are at X with no forms so more than likely PSNI pass mark will be for example 55 so all those who scored 42-54 are now out and 55+ progress on

    Not necessarily - last year Dear John's came out before the merit list, I had my pass letter for the AC from Deloitte, and then got a Dear John from PSNI which I'm almost sure said although my score reached the required standard, it wasn't high enough to make it into the pool of qualified candidates - because I remember not ringing up when the merit list came out as I presumed I wouldn't have a merit number. But I will double check and let you know!

    I can confirm that those who received this letter last year were still on the merit list as I received the letter and was early 600's. This year i am between 400-410!Unfortunately still not good enough either but at least it's an improvement!Not looking forward to receiving another dear john!
