Also it says on website there is a restest of the IST is this a few questions from the SJ & verbal reasoning test or the whole thing? Feeling a bit apprehensive about it all. Have a few friends in the PSNI but their role play days are but a distant memory....thanks in advance ����

However I'm all about bettering myself based on past experiences! This time I will try to keep the emotions out of it as they really held me back last year... And yourself?

Banterbus, who else was unsuccessful last campaign and is returning? I was us all back in here again because I had great fun last year with everyone on here and want the same again this year I'm returning! Still on the 1710 ML however I highly doubt they will reach my number... Onwards and upwards!

W221 wrote: » Thank you, just curious as I had seen someone else ask the same thing. I’ve actually been through the IST and AC before in the 1509 campaign and passed both, did the vetting and was invited to PCA soon after. It was all fairly quick but then I withdrew my application on the back of potential delays with the email cheating thing that happened back then.
