Hiya I was just thinking about the bleep test and wondering what the standards are for this at Tulliallan? Is it the same level that we had to pass with our force to get in? I have heard many forces have different requirements for the fitness so I'm not sure if Tulliallan has one level to get to or if theres different one for ages or forces etc. Thanks Lisa

I have just found out that I'm unlikely to get my medical report signed off by my doctor until AFTER my Day 2!! I can't get hold of Recruitment, and I'm really concerned. Can anyone give me some feedback on what I should do or how this will affect me? It seems like one obstacle after another!!!

Hi people, I am just writing this as I feel a need to clarify some points regarding the written reports at the assessment centre. I have heard many of you talking about how you have been showing personal responsibility in your reports by mentioning things along the lines of...'I am going to... I will.... I am going to personally... etc etc..'. However, I am a bit confused as I thought the idea behind it is not 'how you' as such are going to rectify the issue/problem but rather 'what you recommend or propose' after summarising the possible solution(s) to the problem. How would you use comments such as 'I am...etc' in a report which is simply there to analyse the situatio…

Hi does anyone have an email address for someone in recruitment for the met? I called them on Monday morning to see where my application is at and she said she would call me and never has. Any help would be appreciated x x

I have recently passed the paper shift for my application to become a police officer for Avon and Somerset Constabulary. I have had a dyslexic report done which will be sent in to the force soon. My question is in the test will I be allowed to use a calculator as I'm a registered severely dyslexic? Do dyslexic get to use calculators as well as extra time or is that a big no? Thanks Jez

HI ALL.. firstly apologies for the gross element of this, have been told to see my GP due to trace of blood in my urine. Had kidney stones 5 yrs ago, must be a little bugger still in there, I have not had a day off or any probs since.... Am I doomed? Also out of the blue told me to check out my hearing in the lower range also, I have had no probs before.... More obstacles !! lol Any thoughts or any kidneys available lol!!

Ok so having passed everything thus far , my employer has just filled and sent back a reference request from my chosen force. My question is how long would it be now until a I find out if I have been successful??

Was told by my recruitment officer that my file has been signed off and i'm all done now I can finally sleep soundly! However do any of you wise people on here have any idea how long it will be until I recieve a formal offer of employment, my lovely recruiter informed me shes pushing me for September as I would of been in August had it not been for reference problems but I have to sit tight. I'm fine with that but would just like a rough idea of how long everyone else waited from there file being signed off. Thanks for the helps guys and gals, Dom.

Role Play's were the first up, I was confident that I could do it, however, as soon as I walked into the room my nerves got to me big time! I tried to follow the plan that I had, however, I just don't think It did enough good for me. The nerves sent me into a state of 'What do I do now?!" Sort of thing, and I just found it hard to stay on one track. Next up was the maths test, I found it pretty easy, and managed to do 20 out of 25 questions, when the 12 minutes were up, I would rather have done 20 and got 15 right than 25 and got 10 wrong. Next was the Interview, this for me was my strongest part of the day for me, used the full 5 minutes a question, and Im happy with …
