Oh My Days, I actually passed day one, 67% with 81% in rr&D. I am really really looking forward to my Day Two next week. I am going to have to get some new trainers, my current runners squeak and that's just going to put everyone off! Best of luck to everyone still waiting.

hi i have wondering if you ever fail the application stage i know you have to wait 6 months before you can re-apply but can you use the same answers for the competency questions you used in your first application again for the next application or do they have to be different answers? cheers darren

Hi Guys, I appreciae there are a lot of vetting wuestions on this site about convictions, so sorry to trouble you again. This isn't a conviction however. 5 months ago I stupidly got caught urinating in an alley, something I truly regret. I got a £80.00 on spot fine and was told it was not a criminal matter and was not an admission of guilt. Ive passed the papersift with the Met but didn't put this on the application as it is neither a conviction or a caution, however now I have received my vetting forms through it has asked me to declare any fixed penalty notices etc, which I will of course do. What I would like some help with is 1) Is it an issue not to have put it…

have any of you guys done a police degree at university, are they worth applying for or should i not bother. i should finish college this year and want to be a police officer. do you think this would be a good step to take? Any advice on which uni to go to or what degree to take

I have been in education up until now and do not have any work experience as such. Only work within University... I feel it is going to be really tough to answer the application questions. Especially the religious one if it comes up on my questions because I lived in a small village all my life and have had no contact with someone from another religion in the way the question asks... I'm seriously dreading this... Any advice :S I have applied to work for companies such as citibank with what I would call petty incidents. By this I mean the same type of application questions. And was successful I don't think I am going to be successful on this though..

Hey everyone, As you can tell from the title, I haven’t been successful in getting into the Met, it’s a shame because of all the hard work and effort that I put in. Even though I knew the writing was on the wall, I still had some hope left, but now this is the end of my journey. It’s funny because I don’t know what to do now; I really thought that this was my calling in life, but I guess not. I achieved 55%, apparently the pass mark, and still failed. To be honest I haven’t read all the papers. I would like to take this opportunity for everyone’s words of wisdom and support. I wish everyone the best in the future and there new jobs. Hafizur

does anyone know if your examples on the application form have to be within a certain period of time ie. in the last 3 years..or is the no requirement for this? i thought it was 3 years but i looked on the guidance notes on the form and theres nothing about it. i cant have just imagined the 3 year thing tho any ideas? thanks

I was just wondering if anyone had heard back from the Recruitment Dept as to whether they had passed the paper sift or not? This wait really is a killer, everyday the postman comes i convince myself that toady is the day.
