    Seriously tho I really want a Cop boyfriend, anyone want to come cop hunting with me? :D

    I'll give you a call after my IST to let you know how I do, maybe I'll give you my numbers so you can get a head start on the others ;):D

    Anyone got any links to some online aptitude tests or such? I did pretty well on the ones they provided, I want the practice!

    Thats it. Let the stalking (re)commence. I live a nano second from work and spent the good part of last year going home at coffee time/lunchtime/anytime to check post. Ah. Groundhog day.

    Just as a matter of interest, how many times has everyone here done the IST? Have you passed it every time or not? Hopefully just another week for results, I'm getting quite nervous.

    Another question as well. I am going on holiday soon, do they tell you your AC date with your IST results or do they come separately. Its just i really don't want to miss the chance to participate in this campaign just because I'm on holiday. Thanks for your replies in advance

    In total, I've done it about 7 times.
    Passed some, failed some.
    I cant really remember the answer to the second question, i think they tell you youve passed and to attent AC at {location} and time, yes.

    Twice. Passed last year. Waiting on results. They send out your IST results first and your appointment for AC follows a few weeks later as far as I can remember. Seven times? Now that perserverance for you...

    Hello everybody,

    This is my first time posting on here. I've been reading the boards now for the last few weeks and found that it helped coming up to my ist.
    I did my ist last week and, ohh dear god, how i had forgotten how much of a nightmare it was.

    Has anyone got their results back yet? I'm just interested to see what the pass/ fail mark is for this one.

    This was my second time failed last year by two then got told I was through which made MGH a tres happy girl. Hope to know this time next week whether I've pulled it out of the bag this year. Time to start sacrificing goats and bathing in the sweat of male virgins. Start a list boys LOL and by the way you will be required to work up the sweat ;)

    bring a watch or stopwatch, you dont get warnings on how longs left. there will be a clock but its not as easy to guage obviously.

    dont leave any out, no neg marking means if your running behind, you can guess the answers and maybe get lucky!

    i should really follow my own advice lol

    Its a month after you have done your test, Im at week 3 only one more to go.
    Yours might be quicker as they are coming to the end of them now so they wont have to wait to find out the pass mark. This is a complete guess so just be prepared for a months wait. And this is the quick part ugh!
