Just recieved my results for Dyfed-Powys assessment centre and passed with 57%, the only problem being they only have 48 vacancies this year and with me being in 56th position have been put on a reserve list for 12 months. I'm really torn about whether to stay with them and hope some higher placed people transfer or drop out, or try to transfer my score to another force.

Do any midlands forces offer an over 50% or 55% pass rate? Is it Difficult to transfer scores? Is there any hope for me?????

I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth here and I'm determined not to let go of this

If i was you id just hang in there and wait uve only got 2 wait another 12 months n then ull be started so its well worth waiting that 12 moths cus it will be so rewarding at the end of it all.

I put in my application to West Mercia in February 2008 and am just about to have my final interview, I may still not actually start until this time next year, If i'd known it would take this long I would have found something better to do in the meantime but there you go...I would sit it out if I were you and focus on something else for a bit to keep you busy, I promise the time will fly by, I still might get a different job while i'm waiting! good luck!
