Passed by a small bit. Happy after so many attempts but wondering now have I scored enough

SneakyBeaky · 15-04-2016 1:40pm

Good pass, looking forward to meeting you guys at the PCA! Let's get training!

Drummer64 · 15-04-2016 1:42pm

Passed! Not a very high pass though just about in. Hope that's good enough. Sorry to everyone that didn't make it in

RedmondHR · 15-04-2016 1:42pm

Another pass, surprising enough!

swl33t · 15-04-2016 1:43pm

What range did everyone fall into?

Good times

just as well. you'll need a second way into G.V after I put you off during induction weekend with my smell.... :P

ZeGerman · 15-04-2016 1:49pm

Just scraped through again. Bit better than last year but not much.

I know there's little to say to console those who didn't get through but just keep trying.
I've been there; last time I missed it by less than 1% but finally somehow I got it.

Now the real wait begins!

Yeah I was the same, I didn't do the AC in C2 but I did C1 and this tine around I found it much tougher.

Low 60's, it's just aswell they moved the pass mark, as taking that into account I actually did better in comparison with C1.

RedmondHR · 15-04-2016 1:52pm

Do they use everyone who passes the AC? Or just a certain number?

yet another lurker · 15-04-2016 1:53pm

Sorry to anyone that has not passed.

I got my pass.

Low 70s.

Anyone have a clue how high up the list you would be with that?

Know anyone who had similar in previous campaign and how long it took?

Depends on finances, they do need a pool of qualified candidates so they usually progress in merit order and work their way through the list until the money runs out.

Quite high I would imagine, considering what the pass mark was in relation to previous campaigns.

Ah
You mean the pass mark has been lowered because results are lower?
OK thanks very much. I'll sit tight.

Must be, I don't know exactly how Deloitte work out the pass mark but it is something related to how all candidates score then they work out the pass threshold.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were to be in the first squad (providing the next stages go smoothly).

Redboy12345 · 15-04-2016 2:02pm

Absolutely over the moon. 85% cannot believe it! Hard luck to all that did not pass this time.

PCbobby · 15-04-2016 2:03pm

Well done to the passes. Be prepared for a little longer wandering around a pondering what the recruitment team are thinking... Just keep focused.

For those who didn't pass DO NOT give up. If you really want the job then learn as much as you can from the experience and come back next time better. It's the determined indefatigable people that are most successful in the end.

Goonerdee · 15-04-2016 2:07pm

High 60s yeooo

Bunsen1burner · 15-04-2016 2:08pm

Passed!!! Middle 60s! Still pinching myself!!!

Wow, just wow.

That makes me feel less pleased about my low 70s haha.

Well done mate and to the rest that passed. For those that didn't just learn from the feedback.

shanevendrell · 15-04-2016 2:11pm

Delighted to have passed, but an E in one of the scenarios has taken me from looking at a score possibly towards the 80s to middle of the table so mixed emotions.

You'd be surprised how low down the merit list they can go. In C1 it went to the low 60's, I don't know about C2 but I'm sure one of the guys who recently got the call could tell you.

MrBlack93 · 15-04-2016 2:16pm

passed by the skin of my teeth but realistically what's the chances of a sub 60% score proceeding to medical and PCA?

swl33t · 15-04-2016 2:18pm

High 60's for me!

I was 65.5% from C2 and got the call last week.

If I can do it, then there's hope for everyone!!

MrBlack93 · 15-04-2016 2:21pm

Sorry for all the questions today but this is my first time applying. Has the passing score of 55% ever been this low before ? And if so how low was called forward?

Last two campaigns were 60%. I still think this AC was the hardest yet.

Momc82 · 15-04-2016 2:48pm

I'm pleased with my pass, but feel genuinely gutted for those who didn't.
My heart sinks for you.

Keep her lit guys!

JD2020 · 15-04-2016 2:49pm

First time for me and high 70s. Still in shock!! Honestly thought I had messed the whole thing up.

Nice one, seems to be alot of high scorers on the boards.

swl33t · 15-04-2016 2:54pm

Id imagine we'll be waiting another few months now?

Aye, you usually get a two -three month warning for your PCA. September before top of the class go to GV

Tricop · 15-04-2016 3:26pm

Phew...above mid 60's...what a wait!

Sorry to hear about those who didnt...keep at it!!

I am so bummed you didn't get it.

To everyone that passed. Congrats. Go get drunk.
To those that didn't, commiserations. Go get drunk.

yes. yes you most certainly will.

Gutted for you bud. But please get straight back in there and re-apply (once its next open)

And stop "napping" mid day on that sofa with your boss....

Mop a top · 15-04-2016 3:58pm

Was a bit surprised at the lowered pass rate. If you've got a sub 60 score I wouldn't panic. I reckon theyve had to adjust it to get a certain number of candidates to go through to PSNI stages.

D4z · 15-04-2016 4:17pm

Passed with a mark in the low 80's - very pleased!

ccfckyle · 15-04-2016 4:28pm

Got low 60s so I can't say I'm to displeased. Does anyone know how the process continues from here in terms of do the higher graded candidates go first at the PCA?

SamC321 · 15-04-2016 4:29pm

Anyone a FOI in to see how many of us are left?

I think it takes about 20 days to be answered but no one will have been able to ask until after today.

I might get a family member to submit one tonight, just so I remain anonymous lol.

Psni26 · 15-04-2016 4:32pm

I got very low 60 1405 campaign still haven't heard anything year and a half on! I think 1405 is finishing up soon too!

Did you get a Dear John or are you waiting on a PCA or whats the craic? If you haven't heard a thing, I find that very strange.
