A thread to keep each other up to date about where we all are in the process
That’s what I was thinking? Because I got a C I’d expect to be in the 400 range depending on how many people have passed.
Yes but how many people do you think get say 65.25%?
They have to be ranked. No idea how they tie break it. But you could have 36 people with the exact same AC score but with 36 place difference in the ML position which is basically the difference of starting a month later than some.
I got over 70% which is an A - what does this mean? Is this good news? What does this mean for the Merit List? All very confusing….
Yes very good.
Merit list is a score of 1 (top scorer) to bottom scorer. All reached standard.
You progress to the PSNI managed stages in merit order.
The lower the ML score the sooner you start moving along the remaining stages
Try not to give out exact details of results/dates/etc as these things can be narrowed down to you. This was advised on previous forums.. saying that it is a good score and could potentially be a merit listing from 150 and under.
You have also to take into consideration vetting times/delays to pcas and medicals/plus other circumstances so just because you are say 50 And someone is 140 doesn't necessarily mean that would be appointable before you. Just means you are higher on the priority list from what I've gathered. But again I may be wrong so don't take my word for gospel
There were fewer applicants this time so hopefully merit list will be smaller
Aye but you guys didn't do your vetting forms before ACs like we all did in 1710 and 1810.
I am pretty pleased with score.
Does the PCA start now ? (am a bit concerned about my fitness) or after your vetting is complete.
Your vetting runs concurrently with the other stages.
Some peoples takes weeks others months.
A fair few people sit with everything else passed and await ages for vetting to pass
5,311 applications in this recruitment.
i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more than halved now due to IST, AC & withdrawals.
Start running. Press ups and sit ups. That's it. Don't need to get technical about it.
Get cardio up, upper body and core strength
1810 had about 7000 applicants and a ML of just over 1000...
If you've passed you've done well
Going by the Information from No tomatoes.
1600 will attend AC & 800 will be placed on merit list. Out of the 800, 400 are appointed.
7696 applicants to be exact. Meaning only 13.68% got to merit list.
621 of them appointed so far. Meaning just 8.01% of applicants got in.
Depends how you score. Better the ML the sooner you start progressing
They are good at what they do but they obviously can't read the previous campaigns stats lol
Only 50% of a merit list appointed?
Nonsense
Does the email actually state that we will get merit list on the 13th by reading it sounds as if we only get the outcome results of the right to work evidence?
Yes, you’ll get your merit list results on Friday.
It’ll most likely be based by what you scored your points on, and overall how many competencies you hit. That’s how the interviews are assessed.
I have heard that not everyone on the ML gets through to GV almost half of the People on the ML don’t get taken forward.
Anyone know if this is or isn’t the case?
I’ve known someone who was 500+ on the merit list in the 2018 campaign and made it through Gville. By the looks of the last 2 campaigns they have exhausted the merit list many people won’t pass vetting or the medical they also have to take into account the amount of people who won’t make it though Gville through injuries or other circumstances. Being on the Merit list no matter where you are is a very good sign, just follow all the PSNI managed steps and you will that get offer for appointment however long you may wait.
Yeah I’ve heard of this. People from past campaigns being “leap frogged” by people from more recent campaigns.
The biggest reason for this tends to be because of vetting.
This is accurate. My vetting took over a year but someone in my intake was waiting less than 6 months.
Anyone know what main aspects of vetting is?
Keep your finances in check. Stay away from Paddy Power lol
With regard to finances, I was in my overdraft for a while during and uni and never got round to sorting it until the past few months (laziness and it felt like free money), if they can see I've worked my way out of it will this not be a major issue?
Nope, shouldn’t be an issue. Stay out of your overdraft and don’t take out any loans (unless you really need to). As long as you can show competence with your finance handling as I know first hand that’s a big one.
Have a loan at the moment but it's from a few years ago (always paid on time and nearly finished with) so here's hoping it doesn't cause many headaches.
Thanking myself now for never putting on a bet in my life lol
I got 62.5% in my Assessment Centre. I’m glad I passed. On the basis of my A/C am I likely to get to Garnerville if I pass the remaining stages?
