All results and feedback reports will be issued to candidates within eight weeks of the examination, so candidates should expect the results by 4th December 2018. Due to the number of candidates taking the examination, the time for receiving results cannot be shortened. The Selection and Assessment Unit takes all measures to ensure that the answer forms are scanned in accurately and the examination is then marked by an occupational psychologist and checked for accuracy. The results lists and feedback reports are then generated and checked. We understand that it can be frustrating for candidates to have to wait for results, but the marking and checking of the results goes through several stages to ensure accuracy before being released to forces and candidates.
