aeb78,

You may already have it, but here is Scott Oster's e-mail address [email protected]

I did get through to him on that number 0207 887 5124, just over an hour ago. It took me several attempts to get through. He's obviously busy telling us all the same things seperately, it's a shame they have not posted something out on one of the numerous websites for everyone's info.

Did he give any more information? I've also heard that there are some applicants being tested on the 14th, the same test we all sat on 5/6.

Oh dear! Going to be a lot of disappointed cops come Monday The marking must be tough

Well my husband and I have just read the 50% pass, and are now feeling quite dejected. He has had an extra glass of water (trying to get that body fat percentage down), and I have had 2 glasses of wine already...(I'm not applying!) Now thinking about what to do in UK if all goes horribly wrong!

How did you guys feel about the exam? Felt that the man blown up down a well questions (and similar) were a bit odd, and didn't really understand them.
How about you?

Hi, the place where Rich got his EGC done for £90, was with DR MOWOTZIN, Ridge Green Medical Centre, Ramleaze, Swindon. The contact number is 01793 877700.
The doctor was great, explained everything about what was happening. He is a German Cardiologist who is now a GP and still does some cardiology on the side!
Let me know how you get on....

[QUOTE=Rippo]

At a 50% pass rate and with my spelling.....just gald I have decided not to do medicals/ecg etc yet!
Having not adjusted the tests to suit the type of applicant they are looking at, I believe that they will lose some good experienced officers.

Does anyone know the pay whilst in training then the pay once out? Sorry my Adobe is not working so can't access SAPOL forms to read them.

Thanks Nancy

[QUOTE=kirand] Hi Kirand,

I have to agree with you. I think that everyone who "passes" the exam should be given the chance to complete the fitness test and interview. My husband is not great at exams but is a fantastic and well respected copper. He is extremely fit for his age, and can outlast the majority of the new recruits on the shuttle run, it would be a shame is he didn't get through just because he can't spell "dunny" or "Sheila", or because he didn't know why the man died down the well, without the back up of CSI and other forensic experts!

kirand

Rippo,

The question should not have been...why did the three men die down the well...but how can we record this as one incident!!!

Rippo

So how can we fix the figures to get 3 cleared up crimes out of one incident...
Any way Kirand where are you from? Was thinking about making some friends and if Rich gets through to next stage you could all wear pink carnations when you go for fitness test. We are from Wiltshire

kirand

We are from North Wales....but used to manage the Waggon and Horses pub in Beckhampton back in 1994 (Wiltshire were not recruiting then!), so know that area of Wiltshire.
Once we all know whats happening then we could make arrangements on the day of next tests.
But need to keep feet on floor and see what comes back from SAPOL on test results.
From the turn out inLondon, I suspect that all who submitted apps were invited to tests and it is only now that all the apps and exam sheets are being looked at by SAPOL in SA.

Rippo

Hi yes, I think you are right. Rich works in Devizes, and travels along the Beckhampton straight twice a day! I am in Swindon working in an MIR.
Good luck, will post on here as soon as I hear anything. Off to watch BB and Desperate Housewives....ok sad I know...

Any Examples Of The Questions On The Tests Please??
