Pass?

I passed yes but we're being spilt into bands again by the looks of it. Anybody that placed up to and including 500 are being called forward now but those further on are being called at a later stage. Just about missed out on the first grouping! Gutted in a way but I'm still on track to get to stage 3.

1-500: qualify for stage 3 straight away.
501-1294: will be called shortly
Anybody outside these bands are eliminated from the campaign

Anybody have any idea how many people were in this stage altogether?

On the public jobs message board. I got a text to say to check!

7000 were called?? And they only took 1294, Didn't think they'd cull that many like that!

Definitely be called up as far as I know, they'll use that band until it's exhausted and then call new people up to stage 2 afterwards. It's not over yet!

I didn't realise you could appeal stage 2? I doubt they'd do anything for you unfortunately because it's the result the computer came up with, I thought that you could only appeal stage 3 because it has to come within an expected score in relation to your stage 2 results so its possible to appeal incase it didn't come within that range but you have an excuse/reason to explain why or to prove you didn't cheat etc but I'm open to correction on all this

Yeah commiserations guys! According to Francis Fitzgerald were on rolling recruitment, whether that's a fresh campaign or going to use all from this one I'm not sure

Got placed in the top 500, absolutely delighted!! Well done to everyone who got through and for those that didn't, do not give up!

Passed but just outside 500. What does that mean the number they've gave us? does that literally mean our position in terms of numbers the number it states "you placed" it just says they envisage we will be contacted shortly about progressing to stage 3? Congrats to everyone who has passed and sorry to hear those who haven't.

Yeah it's where you placed in terms of the 1294 that passed the tests. And they will contact you after the first 500 are finished the next stage for you to be brought forward to stage 3. You aren't out yet anyway

Thanks for the reply newo how many did the test? does anyone know? Or were at least invited? so out of 1294, 500 odd will eventually get the offer? obviously the remaining stages are left but is that how many are left in it for 500 odd places?

I didn't make it. I am devastated. I don't think i'd be taking it as bad only I fully expected I did great in the Inductive test and would be sweating on the Verbal reasoning. Turns out I got 792 / 800 in the verbal (which means I mustn't of got any wrong) and 338 / 800 in the Inductive. I can't figure out how I did so bad in the inductive. I feel like appealing to see. I surely couldn't of got over 12 of the 24 questions wrong. I remember I even had about 2 minutes to spare. Does anybody know how the marking/scoring works?

Dublingirl88 said 7000 sat the test. 1294 passed with the first 500 of the 1294 being brought to stage 3 now and the remainder are waiting to be called to stage 3 eventually. The 500 going through now will be culled again in stage 3/4/5 so out of that group possibly 100 will get to templemore roughly I'm guessing

Damn, so effectively then out of the 1294, 500 will make it? That's kinda achievable if you get me, not to get ahead of anything, but just them odds are not as bad as I thought? When you consider the numbers that have been involved.
