Thanks for the info Mr T, any idea of how many Stay fit letters were sent out? as opposed to a straight no or cheated test letters? I think most of us are thinking the stay fit numbers are quite high

Nah I have no idea on the numbers in the “keep fit” pool . I’m guessing a few like 2015-2016 (300-400) but who really knows .....

I wonder if the file name of the letter we received can give any indication as to how many different pools there are?

The file name for mine is PPA Pool (2) and its the "not invited at this stage though we strongly recommend you maintain a high level of fitness" letter.

Would be interesting to see what other people received?

Interesting point, mine can with file name as straight “PPA Pool”

Cancel that thought. Mine had a (2) because it was the second PDF I had open on my computer. Mine is also just PPA Pool after checking. Apologies! - Technology isnt a strong point of mine!!

Hiya all, I too have been knocked out of the running from my psych test. I have read on here that the maths and English is pass/fail and that they rank you in order of merit from your personality profiling! How is it possible to rank candidates from their personalities????? Also heard on the grape vine that publicly they are saying there is no gender quota but in reality they are “gender selective”.

The MFS hasnt tried to hide the fact that they want to improve diversity. They have openly promoted it . But no standards have been lowered and no one is given help during the pat2. Fact. When close to 2000 sit the testing and only 120 progress at this stage there is sure to be disappointed applicants and conspiracy theories.

Any chance of more interviews later on for those that passed the beep test but missed out on an email today?

I was initially unable to attend the PPA testing on my allocated day so I attended the catch up session on Monday morning. I received an email this afternoon inviting me to the PAT 1 tomorrow.

This seems strange. Did you have a sick certificate so you could sit the testing at a later date?

No. I wrote in once I received the test date and was given another date for catch up. There would have been maybe 20 of us...
