Hi does anyone know what is the pass mark for stage 2 especially the maths! Thanks in advance!

I did stage 2 yesterday as well, I wasn't too happy with it. Especially the Maths too! The first few questions were ok but I was rushing at the end trying to finish it... One of my friends who's working in Revenue said you only need 8 in the numerical to pass, will be very disappointed if I don't pass it now. I think it's 12 to pass for verbal reasoning and 22 for error checking. Did ye answer all questions?

Really? Only 8. That seems reasonable. Yeah I got through all questions, some more rushed than others as I tried not to get bogged down. How do you find the test overall?

He said 8 ya, seems pretty reasonable. I found the error checking easy but I struggled with the verbal and numerical parts, I didn't manage time too well so the last few questions of those parts were all guessed. I answered all questions but it's 50-50 to be honest, just hope I managed to pass it. Will find out soon anyway! I think your scores for each of the three parts are taken into consideration when determining your place on the panel.

How long do the stage 2 tests take? i.e how long do you spend there

The tests only take 54 mins, around another 30 minutes between registration and examples. You won't spend longer than 90 mins there.

Pass marks are:

398 for verbal
313 for numerical
292 for checking information

What's the breakdown of that? I was just curious because there's 26 questions for verbal, 21 for numerical and 46 for error checking. Roughly, what mark do you have to reach in each category?

Been following this thread for a while now and this is my first time to post!

Got offered a job in people point to start end of this month. Delighted to get it but now concerned as to what people make of it on this thread. In a job at the moment which I don't find fulfilling and will be stuck in if I don't make the change, but nervous now about making the plunge!

Up to this point the Dublin region is the only area that had done 2nd round and interviews although yesterday those for the Limerick/tipperary region got dates for 2nd round test.

I was one of those people who did the 2nd stage test yesterday for the Limerick/Tipp region - does anyone know roughly how long it takes to get results? i ranked 394 only in the first stage, so hoping i can do better this time around than my original qualifying score.

What number are they at interviewing in Dublin and how do they contact you thanks

Does anyone have the telephone number for PAS for this competition? Can't find one in my old messages.

I can tell you, that Peoplepoint is swamped with work at the minute, is understaffed, and is not very highly thought of by the people it serves. I'd say it could be stressful enough working there
