RPAT

[Bob]

So if their is a high fail rate for women in the pare and they are lowering their standards, wow that makes me feel safe!

Thanks Lia

But hey, don't get discouraged. The first time I wrote, I scored a 3.5 Yep, it was disapointing, but the year wait went by pretty quick. So 367 days later, I rewrote, different test, just as hard and scored 4.29
So don't give up, if I can do it, you can.
The scores are competed against the division your in. Highest score first and work down. I am in E Division, west coast. Then I believe after you pass all the stuff and interviews, you are then placed back on the rank list. With your rpat score and interview score, they may sort of combine them to give you a new score. Thats when I believe you then compete nationally.
Don't take this as gospel, but I pretty sure this is the structure.
Hope this may enlighten you a bit.

Remeber, becoming a cop isn't something that happens over night. It takes a good solid weekend of training to get that badge....LOL

Hi Lia, I agree with Glenn 100%. Don't give up ever! To answer your question about my status, well, there is no change at all. October is here and I am hoping for the best. I thought my 3.98 was pretty good back in Jan.. At least enough to get an application! I inquired with recruiting in Montreal, but the info I received was stuff that is pretty common knowledge. I was told to await the second selection which is now. I have also applied to the Ontario Provincial Police and Toronto Police Service. I have tests with these departments next month. The process is 10 times faster then the RCMP. I am still confident that I will be selected this month (thank's for the good praise about the RPAT), but I had to follow up with other options to be safe. Hope this answers your question. Good luck to everyone.

I heard that here in B division, the people notified of making the October selection period will receive their applications more towards later in the month. So good luck to those in other provinces.

Echo13, I know you say that other processes are quicker than RCMP but right now, but my process is going alot quicker than you would think! I think it's because they increased troops through depot. Anyway, have a look at my timeline:

Mar 2/02 - wrote RPAT
June 3/02 - ran PARE
Aug 20/02 - Interview
Sept 13-now - background check
Sept 19-20/02 - Medical

So it has only been 7 months and the recruiter expects to get me off to depot before Christmas, perhaps even the ned of October depending on my background check clearing.

Good luck everyone.

Ace13, your timeline is amazing. Do you know of others who have progressed at that rate or even faster? I guess it all comes down to the division and their methods. You must be so excited to split for depot. I would not be able to contain myself if I was in your shoes. I am anxious just to get a package. Well, only time will tell. I will let you know what happens in the coming weeks.

[LIA]

Thank's guys, I will keep trying for sure. Echo 13, you hang in there! I am sure you will make the cut. LIA

Echo13,

Yes I'm very excited!!! I just want to go now. I don't know anyone personally, that has moved as quickly as me, but I have heard the recruiter here say that people are going through very fast. There are 30 odd people from NF up in Regina now, and that is unusual. Most other provinces can't fill their quotas, so extras are being sent from other provinces who have people ready to send.

Good luck and Hang in there!

Hey Kev, I don't know if you are aware or not, but your messages are both blank??? Try again bud!

Also, way to go Ace 13!!! That is one great accomplishment to say the least. Good luck in Regina. It is always good to hear that people can go all the way with such a tough process.

Sorry Echo 13! What I wanted to say was that I heard from a friend of mine who lives in the east end of Montreal that RCMP is very slow at getting the ball rolling, but really pick it up after you get the application forms. I think you will hear something at the end of this month. I lived in NDG for 6 months back in 2000, Montreal is great. Good luck with the GRC, salut!

October selection packages have been sent out. I received mine in the mail today. So everyone should know pretty soon, if they don't already. Good luck to everyone.

[ECHO13]

Hey Epoxy7, what division are you in and did you receive a letter stating that you were being pushed back for Oct. selection? Congrats on getting the package, hope mine comes in soon too. ECHO 13

[Epoxy7]

I'm in the E division area. My first selection period was for October. I wrote the test in June. So I made the October selection. I received the package in the mail the other day.

I am in E division as well. I wrote on June 08/02 in Naniamo. I drove up from Victoria to write. Didn't want to wait any longer, just wanted to get it over with.
I am hoping my package will be here this week sometime.
What did you score on the rpat? and where did you write the test?
