I completed the written assessment this morning and made a mess of it, I completed the first scenario and clicked next to go the next one and it saved my progress and logged me out as if I was complete🤬🤬, so I would say that is me gone for this year.

It wasn't very well explained

garda022

Afaik there was only one scenario?

sara1999

I think I’m the same , only completed one

bfg1

I don’t think taht will matter as your not assessed on that until stage 2 from my understanding of it

Murphy2024

Yeah there was only one scenario in the written exercise.

sara1999

When I finished my written exercise and submitted it Brought me onto another one but my time was up

bfg1

The numerical part took me well over an hour , does anyone know how time affects your score and even at that I only got about half right ! So disappointed

Murphy2024

Strange. I definitely only had 1 written scenario given. It does also state in the Familiarisation booklet that you receive a scenario and answer two questions on it. Doesn't mention there being more then 1 anywhere. I'm also not even sure if i hit the 25-40 sentences mark as i didn't exactly have time to count them all.

I'm assuming the grading is outsourced so surely each application will be looked over by human eyes - people can easily hit the 22-45 sentence mark but the quality may be udder shite.

sara1999

Ya I’m not sure if I reached the amount either just typed as much as I could in the time

A lot of people seem to be getting mixed up on exams.

the assessment questionnaire = you’re given options to pick what you’re from good fitness health, team worker, work well the community etc

then you’re given a passage and you have to pick from the four options if the act is good or bad.

the exercise I feel people are talking about it’s the written exercise where you get a passage and you have 30 minutes to say what you would do in this situation. There’s only one passage.

When I completed the scenario I submitted it and then it went onto a different scenario which I didn’t have time to do , how do you find out if your answer was saved or not does anyone know ?

What do you mean fault? Like it’s all good if we write in the one box?

Do you mean that if you saw two boxes to write in, it was a fault and you can re-do the test? Can you clarify what the issue was?

EOD1982

Hi

Did anyone have an issue while doing the written assessment with the box constantly jumping and being unable to see the words you just typed on the screen?

Murphy2024

Yeah there seems to have been a lot of issues with the written exercise. Wonder if they'll take that into account.

EOD1982

Did you read that on other forums with regards to there being alot of issues?

Yeah mine did this aswell was so annoying, yeah there’s also a lot of people saying aswell that when they clicked submit another text box came up

EOD1982

OK it wasn't just me so. . Particularly annoying when you went back to add in bits and the text was going in wrong place. Could have done without that happening but what can you do..

bfg1

Yeah same with mine was so annoying , was like the words were jumping on the page and when I was going back to correct spelling was a disaster so it seems to be a few that this happened too this is not asssessed until stage two so let’s hope we make it that far :) not feeling to confident .

EOD1982

Not one bit optimistic. Best of luck anyways.

Does anyone know what the minimum equestrian experience/qualification is for the garda mounted unit?

Hi, I am pretty sure I asked this question of someone in mounted unit. Actually met them while on a horse myself. Anyway, from what I remember you do NOT need previous equine experience to be considered for the mounted unit. I am pretty sure that's what I was told.
