For those who are thinking about giving Mara ring don't bother as She will give you no reasons why you may not have made it just try again next year as they have their 150 and another 50 on standby for interviewing. I asked why and she said Quote other people where better than you.  So all the best to those who have an interview to everyone else see you in 2013 to try again.  :-)

Yeah unsuccessful but will give it another go next time.  Just wish you could get some kind of feedback so you can work on what you need to.

Not sure if anyone has said anything to you Ferret but thank you for your knowledge and for answering question as it is a great help to all of us.  Come Friday hopefully will receive some good news.

Have been told the same the 27th or there abouts. Also they are working out next years intake so they can work out how many people they will take through to the interview. At a guess 25-30 people per 18 person course, to allow for people that don't make it past the interview or fail the Pat 2 test.

Well next stage is complete now just have to wait for a couple of weeks till I get an email with a yes or no. Could not get over the 544 questions you have to answer.  Well good luck to those still waiting to do the test and all the best to those that have already done the test.

Hi Tammey, no worries about the information. If I may ask you a question, did the question they asked in the test similar to the ones on the SAMFS site?

Hi all, have heard that there is 506 people left doing the current test.  That is just over half of the people who first applied which is crazy I think. Also there could be two more intakes next year which will be taken from this intake so good luck.

Hi Tammey, are you using stuff from the internet of library for your studying? Some employent agencies have trial questions. My mate goes on the Tuesday the 3rd and myself go on Thursday the 5th. So good luck. :-)

Yes that is true. Worked all long weekend, so this tells me to make sure I get a good night sleep so I can focus at a 100%.

That is correct and I will do my best to be part of the 150 as will everyone else, one would think.

I think most of us would be training and studying but the curiosty of knowing numbers is still there. Knowing that so many applied and a large drop in numbers just from the application to the Pat1 test is crazy (300 approx). Hearing and seeing people not turning up and some not cutting the 9.6, makes you wonder how bad these people wanted it. :? 8-) :-D

From what I am hearing there seems to be a lot of people not showing up for the Pat1 test, as well a few failing. Anyone heard the number of applicants that have made next stage? Would have to be below 700.

Well i ran and completed the test today. Next stage is 5th of May.  Three people never showed and one only made it to 7.4.  Any way all the best to those still to run and good luck to those on to the next stage. :-D

Heard the same news Ferret.  All i can say it just makes it a little easier for the rest of us. Odds a little better. Surely no one fails the Pat1 test.

I said no to Mount Gambier but yes to Metro and Pire.  Only because have family here and 3 of my 4 kids are at school. Not sure if i want to take kids out of school here.  Friends they said yes to all three even that they do not want to go to Mount Gambier. They said you just have to make sure you are high in ranking to make sure you miss out on it.  Think the truth is better as if you make it and then say no cause you don't want to go no fair on others.

Thanks Ferret.  My aim is to be in the top 18 as i am sure so is everyone else, but knowing if you get in the top 54 there is still chance of being called up.  As of Monday will be checking email daily so bring it on.

Cheers for the updates.  Just hate the waiting game.  My mate said to me not to be dis-hearted if don't make the 18 but said try and make sure in the top 36 as people get called in to do the pat 2 test.  He said they did not advertise but took on the next group of 18.  Has anyone else heard this before?

With the numeracy and literacy test how do they work out the 100-150 people they interview? Is it worked by an average score then they take the first 100-150 people in that average score? Take it they let you know by email or do they actually ring you?

Friend of mine has been a fire fighter for two years now and tells me it is the best job he has ever had and is not the best paying job he has had but would not give it up for quids. 

Have been doing some running with him and I am no where near his fitness.  He is the same age as me and just loves the idea of being fit spending time with the kids and wife.

Any way I wish you all the best and if you don,t succeed keep on trying

I am 37 years young. About ten years ago Dads mate said i should give it a go but at the time I was earning nearly $10,000 more than he was.  Was younger and starting a family. Four kids later I wish I took his advise.  Working three different jobs and had enough.  But have decided to give it a shot as it will always be a what if I don,t.

cheers Ferret.  Will do that and hopefully get started.  First time at having a go.  Should have done this ten years ago when Dads mate said I should. He has just retired after 33 years. Said best thing he ever did was joining.
