2024 Assistant Principal in Civil Service

They were probably getting hounded with questions as to when the results would be out.

ah stop I thought I was going to pass out. Definitely thought it was the results

I emailed them & they replied to say they expect to release results next week...

They also advised that Stage 2 will consist of shortlisting based on the application forms. Stage 3 will consist of interviews "as positions become available". Hence they were not able to provide any anticipated dates for Stages 2 or 3.

I would think because the 2022 AP panel was extended until 28th February, 2025, that there will be no appointments made from this panel until March at the very earliest.

The info booklet said that they don't envisage making any appointments from this competition after December 2025, you'd wonder why they didn't just extend the 2022 panel until then and save themselves the hassle of running another competition

it is likely that the panel is more or less exhausted in Dublin so they need to form a new panel. Unfortunately for those of us outside Dublin we may have a long wait

Brutal, gutted, 3 points short of qualifying on the situational judgement, did rather well on the other two. I wonder whether the situational judgement one was also scored on time, faster = better, like. 3 points! Anyway, best of luck to you all.

I also fell short by 3 points. I had never done an exam in that style before. A few years ago I got to interview stage. I failed it but it stood to me for HEO shortly afterwards.

A little disappointed but I wasn't holding out much hope in the first place. Onto next year! Well done to all who got through.

Passed . Delighted . Not sure if my merit will be high enough for Dublin . Will see after short listing . Seems demand led

Passed, placed 388th on open stream order of merit. My first time applying so no idea w whether this is good or not!

Passed. Total score around 1200+ and OOM in the low 100 in Dublin. I assume that's likely good enough?

Well done to everyone who passed. Hard luck to those who missed out.

Wow, must have been a lot of people going for this, my OOM is so high LOL 🙈

I'm in the 1800's as it stands. I thought I did okay on the two tests that are taken into account. Maybe the time element was what failed me?!

As usual, I did best on numerical, but that isn't used for OOM :-/

1,150 in the order of merit. Reckon I've any hope of the next stage with that?

The OOM awarded at this stage will change once the shortlisting is done. It can go up or down depending on how the mark the application forms. It really isn't an indication of getting any further at this stage because the two scores will be combined. Obviously the lower the OOM the better but it can change a lot at the next stage. Fingers cross again everyone!

Did you get through to the next stage?Curious to know how many made it past the psychometric tests.
