First time poster. Done my A/C today found it hard but feel like I got in to it a bit. Once in to it I enjoyed the role plays but it’s the unknown if you were good enough. Some times it’s a case of you either think it went well but you were actually really bad or the fact that you thought you were really bad but went well. Is anyone else with me?

I think it's hard to know exactly what they are looking for and that only time will tell. It's a bit scary waiting until May.

Again. Not that I expect to even get a pca date as the more I think about my performance the more I'm cringing... but... has anyone not actually started any training yet? Or for those who have what does your typical week look like?

Just focus on the bleep test for stamina and do circuits, google search circuit training in your local area and get started.

Bleep test can be downloaded from a range of websites. I think I used Police Scotland's one of their website.

I think only if there's a significant difference.

I got a chance to answer a question again that I think I got wrong the first time. I might have performed better second time lol

Hi guys, I’m new to this forum and this is my first post so please go easy on me lol

Can I ask, I done the assessment centre recently and I feel I performed quite well however when it got to the IST resit I feel I let myself down big time! Is this a re test one time only thing? Or if there is a big difference in marks compared to your first IST do you get to come back and do it again in full for validation purposes?

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge... I think after the initial mini ist resit if there is a difference in original performance you are asked to come back in to sit the full test under supervision.

Evening everyone, time for my usual check up now that I have a little time lol

How is everyone getting on over here? Any of the long-timers still on here and kicking?

Haven’t had much chance to get on here the past while, have to say it is a very intensive and difficult course

I do running and swimming. I think circuits would be great to build up to pca level.

Have been steadily increasing my stamina. Try a bit of hill running etc. The pca has a basic fitness level, if you cant do that then it’s definitely something you need to focus on!

Has anyone on here rescheduled their AC and still waiting to do it?

Peelers

There is about 500 people to process from the1710 lot still. Hopefully they exhaust that list first and then exhaust the 1810 list

This from an FOI submitted a while ago. Note "at present" so I'd say unless otherwise advised that's the case.

I agree. Out of interest I viewed last year's thread and whilst there seems to be arguments and other debacles in the thread it seems more chatty.

Also noticed that towards the end of March there were a few fast tracked so maybe it'll happen to a lucky few this year.

Anyone else looking at the previous campaigns thread for timeframes etc.. theirs seems a lot more active than ours.. is there another place people are discussing 1810 or are we just a quieter group in general?
Anyone else finding it Funny how you don't feel you have done well at all but yet are impatient for the results.. i should be putting it out of my mind yet I'm counting down the days .

The time frame seems normal to me compared to 1509. Once this stage passes it’ll go quite quickly, if you’re successful at the AC. As for the AC itself, I also felt weird afterwards. It looks like it’s been designed that way though. In 1509 there was a definite “story” to follow and even solve but I didn’t feel anything like that in 1810.

As soon as I’d completed this AC I was counting down the days for results but I’ve been able to put it out of my mind recently, I’ve been waiting since start of January

Feeling rubbish after today. Was anyone else on here there?
I think I should have organised my written work better. Now a long wait... but know you guys have had it worse.

I certainly felt the same way and feel I didn’t perform well during the role plays or written work.It is hard to judge though and we could be wrong and actually done well enough at it. From previous campaigns people felt they done very poor and ended up doing well.
By May 10th we will know our faith......let’s hope it’s good news.

Don’t worry. I felt the same leaving last week. You can bet if your feeling rubbish, 90% will be feeling the same. Although, the wait is the worst, I agree.

Yes they will provide a clear plastic sealed bag that is assigned with your number and they will hand you it back at the end. Don't worry it's very well planned out.

Thank you.
