Ya that didn’t make much sense, hard to understand.a lot of the time I had to guess.

I got the majority of them wrong but I think the other three assessments went well enough.

I wouldn’t worry you might only have to get a certain amount right. To be honest I’m not holding out much hope getting a job out of this cause I did the county council one last year and passed the online exams but have never heard a word since.

I suppose with the change in the boundary, the county probably had to adjust down their numbers and the city have to increase.

Has that actually passed? I thought they had to backtrack? I was against it cause I’m from one of the areas that they wanted to join the city.

Yep, I think they'll be rolling it out in the very near future.

I really don’t agree with it especially when you are like 8 miles outside the city. In the future so is your address going to be Cork city.

I would presume so.

I just think it’s unfair that the general public had no say on it. I know Ballincollig were really against it, had posters up and everything around the town.

Yeah I found that difficult too.Thought the others were ok,though the numerical one wasn't plain sailing either.

How long do you think we'll have to wait for the results?

Hopefully not too long.

I know they said in the briefing document that the top 50 will be called for interview, but will we receive an OOM like what the Civil Service do, so we know where we stand?

Anyone hear anything ?

Didn’t hear anything.

Nothing here either.

The wait is killing me.

Is supervised aptitude tests the next stage?

I had another look at the briefing document today and it said that the top 50 candidates from Stage 2 will be invited to fill out an application form. They will then use this application form for the basis of calling people for interview.

Ditto. Does anyone have any idea how they're going to rank? Like sometimes they include all the results in the ranking, sometimes they have pass/fail on the numerical and use the rest for ranking. Any ideas?

I hope they don't include the sudoku inspired test in the rankings.

I got mine too. Says I'm through to the next stage but no indication of how many people are going through. Thought it was meant to be top 50 through to interview, but they must be bringing more than that through to supervised testing surely?

Another poster said that the next stage wasn’t supervised tests.

Anyway I didn’t get through so good luck in the rest of the process.

I just think it’s not good enough not to even get a breakdown of your results or what marks you needed to get in order to progress.

Sorry to hear that. I totally agree with you, no feedback is no good. Whether for next time or going on to the next phase, no information about what areas you need to work on?

I was a bit thrown by the email because I don't remember hearing anything about supervised testing before.

I’ve emailed them back requested feedback, you could also do the same asking them to clarify what the next stage is.
