I found the first one difficult enough.. I was hoping to answer more questions.. now a month of wait for the result

Just finished the test myself. I can't remember where I applied for either waterford or Dublin both are equal distances from me.

My inlaw worked call taker before after moving to dispatch and he said they are trying to get trained garda out of the offices and back into stations so there's gonna be lots of roles in the future.

Found the first part hard.second part wasn’t that bad if I’m honest.

Big_Baner · 13-01-2021 8:39pm

First part is a bit tricky with the time constraints, second is very simple. Anyone finish all questions in the first part?

I got through them with about a minute to spare so now I'm hoping I didn't screw it up ðŸ˜‚

I think I got about 17/18.. But I stay positive because it's not only about how many answered but the percentage of right/wrong answers

I am useless at tests and afraid to open it. Is it a typing test or observation or is the sample adequate to get a feel for what's expected.

I am pretty sure we can't really talk about the test itself with too many details.. however I can tell you there are clear examples before you start and you can repeat that introduction if you need to.. examples don't count in final result .. you have got this! no panic, open it up

Jamp 123 · 13-01-2021 10:50pm

Thank you for your advice and encouragement, best of luck to everyone.

So what happens after the results come out? Straight to interviews?

Nah mate another assessment first

Wouldn't be a bad idea to actually read the booklet and all informations given!.. no offence.

No. Supervised tests in late February. As you need to achieve a similar score and show that it was you who done it the first time. It'll probably be viewed via a cam... Then the interview is in March.

Literally answered the last question with 1 second to spare, felt like I was disarming a bloody bomb or something!

Second part was the finest I thought anyway, sure we'll see how we get on.

Chat ye all in Mid Feb

Random question, not sure if anybody will know but, is there a dress code for this job?
I mean what do you actually wear while working your shift?

Regular smart / casual in some places, others wear a uniform of navy cargos & polo tops.

I'm guessing by your name that you might be going for the job in GISC in Castlebar? If so they dress casual enough. Jeans, jumpers, chinos, t shirts. Some might wear a shirt sometimes but generally casual. Don't wear a suit, or you'll stick out like a sore thumb!

Anyone have the candidate information booklet for this be willing to send it to me? My very old laptop died and I had only saved it on that somehow.

Any help hugely appreciated.

Tpcl20 · 14-01-2021 8:58pm

Thank you so much to the extremely sound person who sorted me out. Absolute legend.

Are you talking about the examples in the accompanying familiarisation document?. I didn't see any practice questions but the examples are clear enough..

Toashty91 · 15-01-2021 1:47pm

Hi Guys,

I've also applied for Dublin but have yet to do the test, me nerrrrves!
Could someone also send me the booklet? My very new laptop had to go back to the computer wizards after 6 months and everything was wiped

I'd really appreciate it!

Jamp 123 · 15-01-2021 3:30pm

Got a message reminder of the deadline. Sorry to ask, would anyone be kind enough to forward the booklet also, I should have saved it. Much appreciated.

Gremlinertia · 15-01-2021 3:53pm

You're the best! Thank you so much!

Just did the test there, don't know how many questions i got done, didn't look at the clock, felt less than 8 mins, i honestly thought it had timed out prematurely! Not too optimistic about my score

Second test was actually fun but got my very last one wrong

I was going hell for leather haha

Best of luck everyone!

Jamie13 · 15-01-2021 8:17pm
