    Is it generally accepted that the verbal reasoning is going to be the toughest of the three parts?

    I would say so, I wonder will the abstract be the same or will it get harder

    I got this Friday to Monday. I'll report back when I'm done and let you know what to expect.

    Wonder should I take a video of the process and put it on youtube or is that against the rules?

    I suppose after 5 years of waiting it probably wouldn't do to single handedly corrupt the aptitude test.

    Best of luck to every one!

    I think its best to not guess any answer if running out of time. Does one wrong answer constitute one correct answer being sacrificed? I have done negative marking in college and there has to be two wrong answers before a correct one is sacrificed

    I don't think it state's it anywhere how many wrongs takes a right but I can't imagine it would be 1 for 1, very difficult test if it is this way.

    That's the million dollar question. It's annoying that they do not say, as it would have a large effect on how people would answer the questions.

    Here's hoping. If that was the case, a significant bulk of people would end up with a big fat zero.

    They do it in order of your canditate number. I.e in order of who applied first when it opened in December

    Same to you. I'm at my wits end looking at the sample material.

    I have a sneaking suspicion (or hope) that it might be a bit easier than the sample verbal. If you look at cut-e's website, it appears they seem to cater largely towards professions/ graduate positions. Hopefully the garda verbal won't be so hard.

    I'd say the abstract may be a tad harder.
