If you think you'll pass just do it. If not ask to delay and lose some weight. Easier said then done I know but there are restrictions for the job for obvious reasons.

Everyone has to do it. You will also get other tests done. Like eyesight etc

Ive already been to their doctor, my own doctor, a civil servant who weighed me and belittled my 6 lbs I lost over christmas in a follow up call and now another 60 quid to spend to be told maybe I can do a step test! Ive lost nearly 2 stone since the first weigh in and its getting to be a pain in the arse at this stage considering I do the running in the gym with 30 seconds to spare.

Then just pay the test. It's 60 quid for a career

Sounds to me like your miles off the level you need. Give it a miss sure and try another time if your that upset about

You’re also gonna need a thick skin for this job. People are gonna belittle the life out of you in prison a lot if they can. That’s just how it is. Not saying that to put down your achievements because you sound like you’re dropping weight and that’s not easy. Fair play and well done. Just letting you know how it can be inside. Something to consider.

There is a system to the maths questions, you have to work backwards and calculate the formula. Look at the practice materials they send you, I'm awful at maths and wouldnt have been able to pass them without practicing them. My advise is dont go in there and just hope to wing it.

Dean2020

The maths is very hard struggling with it did u get a score few weeks later what u got in your maths test when u did it

Kells girls

Try Kilroys college online course or career services I believe both do courses to prepare you! Not sure if they online or you have to go
