    I see they have updated the 1710 pool. 501 through and only 238 currently going through the psni management stages. Seems they are really pushing on. I would hazard a guess we will here tmara or thursday of our merit numbers. What yous think?

    That is a good sign for everybody that they have accepted so many people. It seems everybody has a good chance of making it to the college if you pass everything. Bit of hope for me because I just about got a B.

    Congratulations everyone who passed PCA today.

    What type of training have you all been doing? I have just switched my weight training up for crossfit. Anyone use crossfit to train for PCA and find it helped?

    Might be a really stupid question but those who have done their PCA did you get contacted via email or phone call about taking it?

    Also does anyone know the lowest score that got fast tracked this year?

    Anyone who did the PCA know what they replaced the drag and pull with or if they just reduced the time limit?

    Failed by quite a bit. I have no concept of time.
    Absolutely gutted.

    Don't be too complacent. Even if you think you're decent make sure to give full effort. I'm devastated and don't know what to do.

    The thin envelope and waiting is the worse part.

    They are roughly at 800 on the current merit list. People receiving calls at the moment have scored between 50-60. Your merit list is likely to be different as the merit order is arranged by AC score percentages. Wait for your campaign's list to go live and you will then be able to come up with a rough timescale. Hope this answers your question.

    been looking at the updated 2017 overview of progress on the join PSNI website currently out today of the 1052 in merit pool 313 have withdrawn or have not successfully completed all PSNI managed stages. Seems a high number to me.

    Some would have received the call from the 1509 campaign as that list was exhausted, I personally know of two that withdrew their applications due to this.

    Do you find out straight away if you passed or not? Thanks for answering so many questions lol

    Once everyone finishes, they will hand out envelopes. You are not allowed to open the envelope until you leave PSNI premises. Your results are printed inside
    Omg were you not tempted to go to the bathroom and rip it open!!lol

    Drag bag hardest.

    Just do circuits. 4 min blasts at max effort to get used to working that hard.

    Although i'd say it's all in your head, passed comfortably, it's not easy but it is straightforward.

    Awh im so gutted for you. What do you feel you could have done better? And what level of fitness would you say you are. You will have the opportunity to redo it again so chin up and get onboard the rollercoaster again.

    You get handed them and then straight away escorted to your car and off the site, the thickness of your envelope is an indication of how you done so most people know straight away. I’m sure local businesses nearby have a few cars pulling in to their premises to open envelopes lol

    You want thick. It's a thing to take to your doctor. Thin means disappointment.
