Maybe I'm not understanding the process.
This lad/lady doesn't want to join AGS. If he/she didn't do the tests, for a career they weren't interested in, then whoever got 5001 would have gotten through... or am I mistaken?
The person placing 5,001st would have got through to the next stage, which is another barrage of similar tests.
The chances of that person progressing past the next stage are slim. The stage after that is just a repeat of the same thing under tested conditions, and then interview.
It's definitely not impossible that someone COULD have gone from 5,000th to top 300 between three stages of testing, but it's very, very unlikely. For example at 3332nd, I'm holding out just about no hope - it's not possible as I've said to study for aptitude tests, and that's what the next test is.This may be why they have band two in order to take account of this exact situation
I didn't think of it that way,you could be right and again, I could be WAY off.
On top of all of that, the person who applies half-heartedly might find that when presented with a result that shows they have a brilliant aptitude for AGS, they are more enthusiastic, and might make a great Garda some day.
From a dreamer's perspective, yes speculative applications like that are annoying as they don't necessarily want it as much as others, but that doesn't mean they aren't suitable.
At the end of the day, the 300 most suitable people who all want to be Gardaí will go to Templemore. This selection is an employer's wet dream

Yeah there are 3 bands. Band 1 is the top 5000 people, band 2 is number 5001 to 9000 & band 3 is 9001 to 12,602. Anyone below that has not passed. Congrats on getting into band 1 0 -
