    Yeah, I know a couple of ones who have had emails and passed. Then the ones above saying they’ve failed.

    Looks like they're sending them all out in separate batches of mixed results.

    Good luck.

    Have you had anything?


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭E18


    Nothing at all, Really need to stop refreshing the page.

    I take it you haven't heard either?

    I’m refreshing my emails like mad and I need to stop, it’ll come when it comes. Haven’t had anything. Passed it last year so would be a disappointment if I then failed this year.

    Failed by 1 mark!! I have lost count on the amount of times I have applied and failed (at the first stage) will give you an idea I have applied each time as far back when the IST was held at the culloden hotel!!!

    I really feel like throwing the towel in!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭E18


    I totally get that Bafta, fingers crossed you have performed just the same. You have already proven to yourself that you're capable, it's just down to the day, isn't it.

    I really, honestly, don't feel one bit confident, even promised myself that was it I would just stay of the forum and when it arrives it arrives just so I wasn't going to be disappointed. But here i am, like yourself, refreshing every 5 minutes...

    Did they do it over 2 days last time?

    Really, really sorry to hear this. But doesn't it just go to show how much your character is meant for a role like this, you have never given up. And don't start now. Wishing you all the best in the next campaign, you deserve it!

    Do they standardise the score? So depending on the average of everyone they can up and down the pass mark? So say you could of passed with last years mark this year, or vice versa?

    No, they were late with results last time as it was the first time being online I think, so they all arrived on the one day and we had them early in the morning. From what I’m aware they started just over an hour ago, (or that’s the first I’ve heard of)

    I can’t remember what the pass mark was last year but I recall I missed it by 3points - This campaign I have missed the pass mark by 1. Got tripped up on the VR section. :(

    Ps. Thanks for the comments.


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭E18


    I feel The verbal reasoning is totally going to get me too.. even doing practice questions on the run up to the IST i was getting caught out by simple words etc.. I know one mark is really frustrating!!
    Not at all, as I said someone like yourself who tries time and time again deserves it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 PCME


    That's me out :( Missed out by 2 marks, gutted isn't even the word!
    Not giving up though, always next year!
    Good luck everyone, i wish you all a successful campaign!

    Sorry to hear that mate, I failed by 5 last year and was really annoyed. Don't give up, think of how you feel now when you are practicing next year and that will spur you on to hopefully pass. I'm still waiting on my email for this years.

    Don’t think we’ll receive anymore results tonight folks.

    Would really love to know how they split the results... surely can’t be pass and fail. Some have passed and some have failed in the batch of ones we know of... and a lot more people still waiting from what I know.


  • Registered Users Posts: 67 ✭✭JJss1988


    The fear when checking emails!!!
    Have we got many passes from today’s batch?


  • Registered Users Posts: 39 Bafta12


    I was wrong guys, emails haven’t stopped. Got mine just now to say I’ve passed. Good luck to everyone else still waiting and for those who didn’t, next time go for it again!

    Amazing well done, you must be on cloud 9!

    Just checked my mails, I passed!!! good luck to everyone else still waiting and to those who haven’t got it this time, don’t give up keep applying.


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭E18


    Emails still coming through guys!
    Just got mine, passed to the next stage. I am literally in shock, only by a few marks mind you! Pass is a pass, i'll take it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 23 LPT2018


    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?

    Well Done E18, told you not to doubt yourself. Unfortunately I wasn't successful and the doubt was all to real.
    Best of luck at the AC!

    I rhonestly didn't have high hopes when I had finished.

    I am really sorry to hear you haven't progressed to next stage, this time. I wish you all the best for the next campaign!

    I think it may go in order of results.

This time round i made a point to really practice and thankfully it worked! Best of luck everyone!

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 BishBashBosh1


    Got email after 6pm. Passed 😀

  • Registered Users Posts: 2 D_Man3


    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!


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭E18


    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!!!
