    Would anyone have an idea time wise of when you hear from Garda Siochana when you put in your application, and it’s after the closing date.. to know if you have been accepted to stage 1. Or how do they contact you to let you know?

    thank you

    I would say around 3-4weeks where they will let you know when the stage 1 tests are , with the tests shorty after that.

    Moderator note:

    I have had to delete some posts that fall afoul of our rules on mentioning companies that sell online or in-person classes. Sadly in the past, we have had sneaky companies register multiple bogus accounts praising them to the stars. I have no reason to believe this is happening here, but as you will all learn is that you have to obey the rules, even the ones you don’t agree.

    Anyone else just get message from public jobs?



  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭Tra112


    Yeah got mine

    everyone get their emails from the public jobs? Happy to hear there’s no time limit on the maths exam 😅



  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭Tra112


    the written exercise is 30 minutes. But it says no set time limit for numerical along with verbal reasoning. Then it says both should take typically between 15 to 20 mins.. so does that mean for sure there is no time limit? Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 D4v3864


    Reading the booklet just reminds me i should have listened in english class.

    From what I can see there is no time limit for the verbal and numerical reasoning, but it will be factored into your order of merit. The verbal reasoning and assessment questionnaire are what people need to be hitting a 100% on, that seems to be what will decide the order of merit. Please correct me if im wrong 😅



  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭Tra112


    Thanks…

    Is job simulation included too? As when I was on one of the talks they said it wouldn’t be included in this intake… but I think it is.



  • Registered Users Posts: 35 racheldowney2


    The job simulation is included with the assessment questionnaire. I’m wishing I listened in maths. Omg doing some practice questions make me wanna take out my eye balls🙄



  • Registered Users Posts: 20 bfg1


    can you do the assessment s in any order , Does anyone know thanks .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 179 ✭✭RarePhilosophy


    From what I remember last year, You can do it in any order.



  • Registered Users Posts: 20 bfg1


    Thanks for that , did you succeed last year ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 20 bfg1


    Did you succeed last year ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 179 ✭✭RarePhilosophy


    Yeah , thankfully got a decent score and had a good order of merit .

    I though I done terrible when I finished the tests, but I done grand. Even if you got 60% in a test , that could be one of the highest scores and give you a great Order of Merit.

    Awh great , yeah sometimes when I do the practice tests I do well then other times I don’t suppose it’s just a matter of what comes up . Dreading them 🫣



  • Registered Users Posts: 29 Paddy77


    Would i be right in saying that its not just me dreading the Numerical Test😮



  • Registered Users Posts: 35 racheldowney2


    Yeah me haha dreading the maths one. Not looking forward to it at all. I did it last year. I passed ( don’t ask me how) think it was pure luck. Didn’t do well in the interview so that’s why i didn’t go any further. Hoping this is my year.



  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭Tra112


    Hope it goes well for you..



  • Registered Users Posts: 29 Paddy77


    Hope it goes well this year for you.



  • Registered Users Posts: 247 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    Does it have to be completed in 1 sitting or can you do 2 sections then take a break and start the last 2 for example?



  • Registered Users Posts: 247 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    Also, does anyone know how long after the closing date we will get our results?

    Do we get a score or just a merit number meaning we have passed?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 179 ✭✭RarePhilosophy


    If I remember correctly, you start each test individually. Once you start a test you are timed. So let’s say you click to start Numerical. You need to complete that test in one sitting.

    However, I believe that you can do one test and finish it (e.g. numerical) , then come back any time within the test dates and finish the rest of them. Don’t leave it to the last minute obviously in case you have issues.

    Im sure you could clarify this with Public Jobs or it might state it in the instructions. As these things could potentially change.

    It was around 3-4 weeks for us (2023 campaign) If I remember correctly.

    Dreading the maths I haven't done anything like this before, please be kind!!



  • Registered Users Posts: 247 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    Good luck to everyone doing it tomorrow! I think I’ll do it early doors and get it out of the way🫣



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 ascull98


    I actually don't feel too bad about the maths, I feel like I'm struggling more with the written assessment and trying to come up with 25 sentences feel like it would be a bit easier if it was going off word count. probably just overthinking it all the same though!



  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭Tra112


    Best of luck with it, I’m not doing it until Friday morning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 99 ✭✭XabiAlonso22


    There's really no where to practice all these things unless you pay for them from the couple of companies, right? Unless I've missed something?


    I just would like to practice with the types that would be in this exam if anyone can PM me if really appreciate it. Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 35 racheldowney2


    Hey guys, best of luck if you’re doing your exams today! I need abit more time to prepare but hope all goes well with yous 😅

  • Registered Users Posts: 29 Paddy77


    Yes I done the verbal and there was a few tricky ones there alright that I had to take a moment to think before I answered,Did you do the numerical yet.

  • Registered Users Posts: 6 ab77


    Hi , has anyone completed the written assessment bit I think I messed up badly , I wrote all my answers (part one and two as paragraphs) into the box and then clicked submit and another text box came up , was I meant to answer part one in the first box and part two in the other ? , do you think this will cause my application to be withdrawn?

    Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 garda022


    I did my assessments today and the timer lapsed so it just automatically submitted mine mid-sentence. I didn't even see the two boxes. Surely if all the information is in the box they'll consider it. I believe this won't be considered until stage 2 but I wouldn't worry about it, I think it's given to your interviewees before the interview so doesn't even affect the order of merit.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 garda022


    I am confident I got about 2-3 questions wrong in the maths section. How do you think this would place me?



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 garda022


    The verbal reasoning section is a load of bs as well. I started saying cannot conclude to a lot of them but it then gave me progressively easier questions so I assume I fucked up that section. 😞



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 99 ✭✭XabiAlonso22


    I'll try and tackle one or two of them Friday and the rest Saturday get plenty of prep in over the next two days!



  • Registered Users Posts: 29 Paddy77


    What type of questions did the Numerical test have.This is the one I’m not looking forward to the most.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 BabyScobeMate


    Any guidance on the written assessment part of the testing? What to look out for?
