PSNI Recruitment - Stage 1 - The Initial Selection Test

Yeah, very frustrating and annoying if you put too much thought into it. One thing that I have realised over the years, and which I think gives some indication of how you have done after the A/C stage, is the vetting process. If you get your vetting soon after you have done your A/C, like say within the first month, then I think that you are somewhere close to the 440 mark. But again this depends on your Community Background. It seems, just because of the numbers, that a lot of R/C will get vetting through, as they can be in the 300+ and still get in, but the Non R/C who get quick vetting apps through, I believe have a good chance of being there or thereabouts.

But again, this is only my opinion and not cold, hard fact.

P.S sorry mod that this should be in another thread, just lots of questions being asked in here lol

I don't think anybody is 'stressing out' over receiving their letter. Its perfectly normal to feel a little apprehensive waiting on an acceptance to the next stage of a job which the person feels strongly about. Nothing wrong with that!

No one is stressing about anything, just want to know, we want our letters as I am sure you do if you are still waiting.

Get off your soap box!

Didn't mean to offend anyone

Was just reading thread and picked up on some vibes, thats all.

I'm passionate about the career move too, but just dont see the point analysing to the nth degree about a letter and its contents. It'll come and I wish everyone the best with recieving news they want.

End of day, theres x,000s of applicants, of course some are stressing.

well im delighted to say im still in the running, received letter today and i passed. such relief :O) congrats to everyone who have passed and best of luck to all still waiting

Somethings can be overthought! I'm tempted to think the worst, but no news is...

Done mine 9th, found it tough and didnt finish either set; and I'm both smart and modest :rolleyes:

I may just turn up at AC regardless :P

Anyway well done to all who have passed thus far, and goodluck to those still waiting.

Im sure you didnt, but turning around an saying that we should ask ourselves if we are suited to the job role was a bit high and mighty of you tbh, just because you have your acceptance letter and can sit back and relax.

Its not my job to decide whos suited to role, its that of the process we're all trying to advance through. Anyway I take your point on board.

And no I haven't yet got a letter

Lol oh you guyyys :P come now.. we may be colleagues someday soon.. let's show some teamwork eh

... I sound like I should have a pipe and slippers...

Guys..........my UID is in the 8000's and I did my IST on the 9th March. Got my Pass letter yesterday. Not sure what this means for the UID theory??

As long as people are still recieving Pass letters then I reakon there is still hope for everyone.

Well folks I was put out of my misery, missed it by 3 marks. Gutted would be an understatement but there's always next year. Good luck to all of you who are still in the running and all the best for the AC!

I reckon results are being rolled out in line with ist dates, I did my ist on the 28th march was told I wouldn't get my result until end of april, start of may & it was stressed no sooner!

i dunno tash, there are people on here who have got their results and sat their IST same time as me or roundabout. I havent got mine.
Few people admitting failures now, i reckon it was passes sent out 1st then failures

you really only got 14 q,s answered??? i bet the people who didnt rush or make guesses do better than this guessing lark! as a police officer would you ever make guesses on something...its all about right or wrong...fact or fiction...black or white as a police officer so well done to you and best of luck with the AC ...IM STILL WAITING:mad:

Yeah. I also didn't get two questions finished in the first part either. I can only assume i got every question correct that i did complete.

i sat my ist mid march...low UID number,late hundreds not even 1000 from the south and no letter yet if that means anything to anyone!

Do we know what the pass mark was????
