Thanks again BoutYe,

I'd hate them to think I was cheating, I don't believe in that sort of thing!

To be honest if its in Belfast which im assuming it is then there will be plenty of places around about that you could wait anyway if it is a problem.

Just checked my exam confirmation BoutYe and its in a hotel, so I'll chill if I can in the bar with a newspaper and a soft drink, thanks.

I have my IST in mid May and as far as I know there are no IST's later than this so I have still got time to read the advise as it appears on this thread

I have mine towards the end of May, I must be one of the last on here to do it!!!! am reading all the advice too Ciaran and its making me more nervous!!! Judging by my location they must "do" the cities first then branch out to the less populated areas?
If your IST is later does that necessarily mean that those applicants will wait longer (if successful) for the other aspects of the recruitment process?

If so

I am in for a long wait then!!!!!!!!!!!!

One board member is now training, he had a merit placing 750's, RC background and started training in March.

Egwene,

A good friend of mine, same background, score 600-650, she got the nod for the May intake, keep the fingers crossed for next intake.:)

derryall · 29-04-2008 11:40AM

So the higher or the lower the score the better?

the lower the number the better the score, ie, 200 better than 500.

Noooo nothing yet but only did test last wed so still less than a week. Have give up anyhoo. Know I failed and in spectacular stylie!

Papayankeegirl did hers last Monday, though was her 2nd time around so she has most likely passed and wont hear for another while.

Dreading the post all this week :-( I know whats coming but its soooo final when you see it in black and white *sobs*

I'll keep you posted, thats if i can still type with both wrists slit and very drunk LOL
I'M KIDDING NO NEED TO GET THE SAMARITANS (YET!)

PapaYankeeGirl · 29-04-2008 12:58PM

I was just about to ask the same question as goodcopbadcop about the results. I read a few pages that the failures get letters this week, if its true I dont want to see a large white envelope. Im very impatient when waiting for results etc!!!! I sat my test last monday, so its been 8 days. My 20 working days brings me upto the 19th may! Gosh I hate waiting

Hi, I sat my IST last monday (21st April) and it wasn't in a city. I was one of the first on here to sit the test.

derryall · 29-04-2008 01:04PM

I have my fingers and everything else crossed for you all

Thanks for having faith in me, but I wouldn't hold ur breath that I have passed, im certainly not holding mine. I did find part B very hard even though it was the same as last year. Fingers crossed anyway. When I hear you lot will be the first to know:)

I did mine last Wednesday and no word here yet either. It seems the longer you wait the better the chances of passing? Hopefully I won't get any post from them this week :cool:

Maura2145 · 29-04-2008 03:49PM

That would be the whole point dude!!

Maura2145 · 29-04-2008 04:30PM

indeed! By the way, if anyone hasnt done the test yet and wants a look at a practice test, Ive got one that seems to be lot harder than the one from the website and books. I wud say a more accurate representation of the actual test. If anyone wants me to send it on just let me know
