Nah, just find it curious in such a small forum 90% of people are in Band 1.

Slim to none said Band 2, same for Band 3, and I saw no mention of anyone who failed.

You haven't been reading all the threads then

what makes you so sure lol :O has it been confirmed all the fails have been sent out?

msg11 · 12-02-2014 03:38PM

Band 2 for me, Your overall place is: 7291

So guess that's me out. Been realistic a career with AGS dose not seem possible at this stage I have done far too much waiting around so guess it's time to look at other avenues maybe heading in retail management.

As for the Reserves, going to have to look at this maybe the end of the road for this. I was doing it for experience for a the full time but with it all but out the window and the general consensus with full time members that the Reserve is a waste of time and is just hogging up O/T for full timers, I hate to say it but this just proves it.

Ah sure life moves along !

Best wishes and regards to all that made it into the top, you have done yourself proud battling off fierce competition. I hope that you make it to the final rounds.

Yes it's over it's basically says it in the message, you have to wait to be call there not a chance in hell they can't get 300 recuirts out of 5000, they just didn't want to cut so many people at stage 1 band 2 and 3 is just back up.

Murphster · 12-02-2014 03:41PM

Well there could be drop outs, there could be people in Band 1 who perform very poorly in the next aptitude, they could do the interviews and decide that they don't like the pattern of candidates and decide to call up some Band 2's who scored highly on the questionnaire etc. You never know what could happen.

While I think it would be reasonable for most of those in Band 2 or 3 to not expect much, the bands exist for a reason and it is entirely within the realms of possibility that people in the lower bands could be called.

Chem Lord · 12-02-2014 03:42PM

So batch 2 emails ares still being sent out?

But would it not be programmed that they have a set 5000 to go through. If not all successful applicants complete round 2, they will take the top applicants from band 2 to balance band 1 back to 5000.

When the 5000 have completed round 2, they cut the numbers again? That's the way I was thinking

Good luck to everyone for the next stage

I'm in the same boat..... We gave it a try, I think 20000 out of 25000 is a bit harsh to drop based on one test

They never gave us a date to sit stage 2 surely if that was the plan they would have instead of saying wait for public jobs to message you.

kojack · 12-02-2014 03:50PM

Band 1 #1093, I'm delighted but a long long way to go yet

Andrea345 · 12-02-2014 03:52PM

Do we know how many are in each band. What if a number of people have the same score. Would there be 5000 in each or more. I don't think band 2 is ruled out at all I think there is a huge chance of being called. Band three probably don't have a chance. Maybe we should ring and ask. In the next stage, will there be a pass and fail again or will they just take the top scoring. It all depends on how the system works. Well done to the people on here in top batches you did us proud

On the main screen of public jobs it states that stage 2 must be completed between feb 18th and feb 21st

STIG83 · 12-02-2014 03:54PM

I was placed 7765.
