2018 Campaign

Tom_90

For anyone who didn't get the news they hoped for today, stick at it. It's took me 10 years of trying and I'm currently in the waiting room of the 1710 campaign. Don't give up.

Afternoon guys. Been following the boards for many moons but first time posting. I will be joining the rest of yous who will be at the upcoming ACs.

Interested to hear what you are all doing to prepare for it? I've read the emails for what to expect but I still feel in the dark about what I should be doing for it!

I haven't even looked at the email link yet to be honest as mine is still a bit of time away and I'm going to enjoy the end of year with the family and concentrate on it from the Newyear, interested to hear too

Congrats by the way!

Have look on join PSNI. There is a PDF with lots of information including the list of core behaviours. These are what you will be assessed on. Make sure you know them, and answer every question even if you don't finish the one before. And good luck!!!

Hey everyone, first chance to get on here in ages!

I failed the IST this year (somehow failed it worse this time than I did last year lol). Just wanted to wish everyone good luck who is through to the AC and to encourage everyone who didn’t get it to keep trying! It seems the PSNI is one of the hardest forces in the UK to get into. I applied and successfully got into 2 forces at the same time (obviously could only accept one), both being my first application to both! Meanwhile having 2 failed IST’s under my belt.

On the positive side, I have a very short period of time to go until training commences. I got my official welcoming to the training school along with my collar number recently and it’s all starting to get very real and very scary now!

Hey Guys!
Delighted to say that after missing out last year by 1 Mark, I'll be joining the rest of you at AC stage! Delighted! I'm so sorry for the rest who've missed out, it's not a nice feeling I've been there. But please don't give up!

Can I ask a question, does your IST test score determine when your AC is. For eg of you scored high in ist do you attend AC first? Or is it random?

I passed this year with a fairly decent score (I think) and my AC is next week. Anyone else going next week?

Folks, remember not to give or share any info relating to your AC. Giving out info about dates or locations could result in it falling into the wrong hands.

My apologies, I kept it vague but was also curious if the IST score affected when the AC was taking place.

Yes it seems to be that the higher you score in the IST the earlier your AC

Thank you, just curious as I had seen someone else ask the same thing.

I’ve actually been through the IST and AC before in the 1509 campaign and passed both, did the vetting and was invited to PCA soon after. It was all fairly quick but then I withdrew my application on the back of potential delays with the email cheating thing that happened back then.

Can you recall if the assessment centre results determines your Merit number only or is it a combination of the IST and Assessment results?

Once I got as far as being invited to the PCA I still wasn’t aware of a merit number. I think the PCA must form the final part of that.

Assessment results only, the difference one mark could make when looking at results for 1710 is crazy. Good luck and leave nothing undone.

Your merit number was given when results for AC were emailed

I must have missed something to tell me my merit number then, is that something they email out? I could look back at them.

I just checked my emails and I was incorrect. It was abit after the assessment centre email. My apologies

Yeah I just checked mine too, no sign of a merit number. I did all the online learning and have the rest of the emails up until the PCA date. I assume the number came at the outcome of the PCA?

Alright guys, I’ve been flat out trying to prep for the AC (this is my first year) the written exercise parts are worrying me as I have no notion what to expect. Is there any online resource that I can check out which might help me prepare?
