    Hi, can anyone they had Medical complete let me know what I need to bring on the day? And how strict are they on the BMI?

    BMI has to be under 30. Mine was 27.3 on the day I think. Train train and train the weight off of you.

    Can anybody that has done the fitness test tell me whether you need proof of weight and height? Or can you just tell them.

    Perfect but do I need a print out tomorrow of height and weight that I can get done in some pharmacies or do I just weight myself at home?

    I had a few that dodnt have door numbers and was just told that for homes that don't have door numbers, then the Eircode is needed so I just got them and sent it back and all was good.

    I just got an email about my PCT retest. That’s 9 weeks after my fail - I thought that I got 12 weeks ? Bit panicked now as I’m not sure I will get time off work the week before Christmas

    Ya I had the same problem. They excepted eircodes for each house. I went a extra step by putting eircodes on every address in the Form B. That way you are covered.

    Yeah I’m up on the 17th too, really concerned as getting time of work that close to Christmas will be difficult and I’ll be travelling down from Belfast so 4pm isn’t ideal either - rang through to HR and he suggested sending an email but said that I may not get another date

    When doing the PCT, are you part of a group or are they done individually?

    I’m up the same day too. I haven’t tried to reschedule myself but I have a family member in the guards and was talking to them today about how worried I am as I wasn’t expecting it so soon and no where near prepared. She told me to email them and defer it that loads of people do it due to work and college, So shouldn’t see it being a problem as it is so close to Christmas. You won’t be the only one I’m sure!

    Does anyone know who's done the medical if they're strict on the BMI. My BMI is under 30 but it's not 25 or lower. Would they fail me on this or do they make an allowance once its under 30?
