Thanks! I'd say go try it, however always be prepared to walk. Seriously, there's nearly a shame of walking away from it, you've told everyone etc.. I tell you from myself leaving, no one could care. Yeah it was unusal now in fairness not sure how it ended up that way, but usually its one tour and come the last hour your nearly be hunting down the member from the next unit to take over!

Hi lads how’s it going.

I was just doing a bit of study there and read that the numerical test is to be done with the calculator on the laptop.

That you’re not allowed to use a handheld one or roughwork paper.

Can anybody confirm this for me?

Its going to change my study approach now because I was using both a hand held calculator and a notepad for the material that I have.

Rmgblue · 01-04-2022 09:36PM

That’s correct

Thanks.

I suppose now is the time to be practicing it anyway couple of weeks and we’ll all be handy at doing the tests that way.

Cheers.

WhiteWalls · 06-04-2022 12:26AM

Was the deadline date extended for applications?

Willie Stroker 1976 · 07-04-2022 09:38AM

I haven’t seen anything to support that anyway.

GDA hopeful · 09-04-2022 09:05AM

No I didn’t hear anything about an extended deadline either.

I was talking to a neighbour last night though and he got his test day for the 21st of April.

Wondering has anyway else got their date?

I haven’t got my one yet.

Willie Stroker 1976 · 10-04-2022 12:53PM

Nothing yet in terms of dates for me just the message saying mid to late April

GDA hopeful · 10-04-2022 11:19PM

Yeah same here, well we’ll probably get a date this week considering it’s the 10th.

Willie Stroker 1976 · 13-04-2022 12:48AM

How are ya all getting on are ya’s doing any preparation stuff online for it? I’m guessing it should be any day now we will hear something

GDA hopeful · 13-04-2022 04:29PM

Yeah doing the career services course there it’s okay but tight to finish time wise.

But I’m told that’s the way it’s made.

How are you finding it?

Willie Stroker 1976 · 13-04-2022 09:35PM

Similar, ok but the timing is the part thats worrying me, especially the ones where you have 2 minutes and 4 questions

Willie Stroker 1976 · 14-04-2022 12:16PM

Boom, update regarding tests

minilad · 14-04-2022 07:39PM

Is anyone using the gardaip stage 1 course? Would ye recommend it?

Willie Stroker 1976 · 14-04-2022 11:20PM

Prob be handy to have that or career services atleast that or do the practice material they sent out, I’ve not used the practice material they sent out yet so no idea how good or bad it is

I'm doing their course. was recommended by another lad on this thread. V good and they are happy to take calls too - rang them yesterday with a few questions

minilad · 16-04-2022 03:31PM

Thanks for the replies lads! Best of luck

Turbolounge · 18-04-2022 10:17AM

Hi everyone, I was reading the familiarisation handbook a few days ago and it stated "you are strongly advised to complete all assessments early in the assessment window", with the assessment window being Tuesday 19th at 9am to Monday 25th at 5pm. Would I be penalised for doing it say on Thursday or Friday instead of Tuesday (the earliest day) or does it make no difference at all? Thanks.

laoisgem · 18-04-2022 12:02PM

It makes no difference, they advise you not to leave it until the last minute in case you run into any problems.

Mochua96 · 18-04-2022 12:08PM

Hi lads, has anyone been given a specific date or time in-between the 19th-25th or is it a case of just sitting the assessment whenever suits yourself in between that time period? Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. It has to be done between 9am on the 19th and 5pm on the 25th. Before/after that won't be accepted.

Willie Stroker 1976 · 18-04-2022 10:02PM

Best of luck to ya all! This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.

Briano1996 · 19-04-2022 02:54PM

If anyone has done the test would they mind sharing how it went, what style where the numerical question in. Similar to that on the careers services?

GDA hopeful · 19-04-2022 04:13PM

Yeah just completed the tests there.

self assessment was fine very same as career services.

verbal was fine well drilled for that too.

I found the numerical tricky now started well but it got tough nothing I could do so I threw in a few guesses and finished okay the end.

Willie Stroker 1976 · 19-04-2022 04:43PM

well done, it did say in the booklet, that it will use that adaptive technology where if your doing pretty well, it will give harder questions, so take some comfort in that , maybe you were doing too well hence it got harder

Willie Stroker 1976 · 19-04-2022 05:18PM

Did ya go with the onscreen calculator or a physical calculator after?

19-04-2022 06:44PM

For anyone that has done the test how was the proctoring done with showing ID etc? And could yous use roughwork sheets and physical calculator? Thanks

It's just a box for the camera that comes up and tells you to scan the room and show your desk pretty simple and only takes a minute, you also have to show your ID in the screen for a few seconds just hold it up to the camera. I used a calculator and rough work page but it says you can only take them out at the numerical stage.
