Anyone have any advice for stage 2 is it trickley and hard thanks

irishgirl91

Stage 2 is fine dont worry about it, get a good nights sleep and leave in plenty of time to get to the city centre. The actual testing is fine its the same as stage 1 so just go in and do it. Make sure you listen to the staff giving instructions but apart from that its fine not tricky or hard.

Could you give any idea on the mathematical question. Reading up people are saying you work backwards to answer the questions is this correct

Thanks

Dean2020

timmy2772

When you were running out of time in the maths Dean did you just start picking anything and take a chance you pick the right answer !!

I have got as far as having medical completed. Sent in Garda clearance form last August but it still hasnt come through.

So I still have to do do physical. Placed between 100 and 110.

Heard starting is 27k but with overtime and weekend/night rates it can go a lot higher.
