PSNI January 2025 student officer recruitment campaign

it was so much more difficult than the practice questions, it completely threw me. I got to question 4 with about 5 minutes left and even the four questions I did answer I’m not confident I answered them correctly. I’m glad I’m not the only one that has struggled but it’s quite infuriating that people wait so long to apply to be faced with a test that felt unfair and impossible to complete.

4th time applying

This Was by far the hardest IST I ever done

Found the deductive reasoning hard - ran out of time with a few left.

See how it goes! Good luck all.

in the same boat as you lol! Fairly blew of the cobwebs on the brain 😂😂

As there are 2 tests and the deductive reasoning is clearly way harder I’m wondering would the deductive reasoning be more important than the GSA mark wise, I know they are a combined score but I’m wondering would it be a higher percentage of the score or are they 50/50.

it’s so true though

I find it ridiculous that this is the test they set for entrance

The first part made sense but the second part I don’t think gives an accurate indication if you’d be suited for the role or not

IST was definitely tricky! Finished with 2 mins to spare, but theres definitely one I missed. Now I wish i'd spent an extra minute on that one! Holding my breath for the 18th now.

Do we know when they'd be starting the next stage for those that pass the IST?

Thank you! Saving that. They're expecting the AC to go on for quite a bit then

Anyone get an email?

Pass emails?

Nothing yet my end

I got an email and passed lads

nervous now

Would recommend deleting that, don’t give out any specifics as recruitment will be able to identify you.

🤣 thanks bro
