Does anyone no the average amount of people to pass the asesment centre, or the whole process. I was just wondering how many people are actually successful I have seen lots of different figures and wasnt sure which one to believe? Thanks xx

Hi, can anyone help me ? I've passed the ac, fitness and medical. 2 weeks ago Derbyshire sent out my references and sec check forms and financial vetting checks etc. Does anybody know how long these take & also they told me the reference doc that was sent out to my current employer is around 3 pages long. I've worked for them for 6 years so don't see any probs but does anybody know what questions are on there please ?? Thanks - the wait is killing me !!

Hi, i've been looking online for some of the numeracy, literacy tests, verbal reasoning tests. I brought a book (how to pass the police selection system, or something like that by H Tolley) and it says practice these tests under exam conditions to the time restrictions but it only gives you 4 or so tests which you obviously cant keep repeating as you know the answers! so, can anyone send me a link or recommend a web site where these tests are available to do online, or print off. Thanks!

hi i have just passed for my application and am awaiting a date for the assessment centre for hampshire police, it seems alot of people have had their dates through(not the same force though) when told they have passed the 1st stage, has any one any idea how long i could be waiting for a date, or has anyone applied for hampshire police recently and had a date for assessment centre. x

Hello all, I was just wondering if i fail the papersift for one force can i apply to another force straight away or do i have to wait 6 months? thanks in advance for any guidance or advice.

I have learned that i failed my a/c by 3% however i have spoke to recruitment and they are thinking of letting people who failed by a very small margin resit their a/c. Instead of having to reapply. However you still have to wait for your 6 month period before doing so. GMP are only thinking of doing this and isnt a formality but if you are in the same situation as me then if we all get on the phone and push this through they might make it a formality. Which would be great news.........Good luck everyone!

I have my A/C tomorrow and so I dug out my watch to use as a time keeper: but lo and behold it's stopped - I think the battery is dead. Does the assessment centre have clocks on the wall when doing the written and PIRT tests can anyone recall? (Sedgley Park GMP specifically although im sure it is the same at each centre).

Hi all I recently attended an assessment centre for Gwent and was lucky enough to past but only with 60%. Really glad that I passed as it was a really difficult day as the morning and afternoon sessions were disrupted by a 2 hour power cut (170 people attend the week and only 55 passed). Since I've told a couple of people about my score and they've said that its more than likely I will be deselected if there aren't enough places available, because mine is such a low score. Any thoughts or info would be very much appreciated.

Hi, Is there anyone else on here in the Cambridgeshire recruitment process. I have a few concerns:- 1, I've been waiting for 13 months for my a/c date 2, If i pass all stages and i am accepted, will there actually be a job available? 3. If there is a job for me will it be with in the two years my a/c pass lasts for? After reading some info on here I'm slightly worried about this, how awful will it be going through all of this then not getting a job due to lack of money of two many people not enough vacancies!!! Do i transfer to i stick with it, what do you think?

because I have a question - let me know if you've had this handout. Ta

Hi I passed the papersift and waiting for my assessment, are you supposed to get a feedback sheet about your app form score.I didn't get one,just a letter saying I had passed.

Just a quick question. At the medical if your BMI comes in at over 30, then I've heard that they do a fat test or something to see how much fat you have or are you all muscle. Does anyone know how that works, and what sort of body fat level is considered acceptable?

Got my start date it...Jackton 8th Jan Tulliallan 15th!! cant believe it, didnt expect to get started till February and now i've already had my uniform fitting!!!!!! im over the moon!!!!

Hi, I have read somewhere on this board that there is an acronym STAR which can be used in relation to the interview questions structure. S - Situation? T - ? A - Actions? R - Resolution? Anyone else heard it?
