Im half and half on doing a preparation test for stage 1 done one for the prison officers and passed stage 1 which involved verberal reasoning, numerical reasoning and a job questionare is the garda one similar to that ? Also what date are we expected to do stage 1 has it been announced yet?

    Stage 1 commences on October 7th

    Stage 1a consists of a personality assessment and basic job simulation questionnaire similar to that encountered in stage 2.
    Stage 1b consists of the Verbal reasoning and abstract reasoning (shapes and sequences) tests.

    There is approximately a week between 1a and 1b

    Your combined score from both 1a and 1b is what gives you your ranking going into stage 2.


    Although slightly expensive, career services provide a very detailed course for stage 1

    You'll be given several days (think it's 5 but don't quote me) to complete the tests.


    The stage 1 prep would be for the current campaign. You also get access to their online resources that last 3 months which will be handy for stage 2.
