MET Detective Constable Applicants 2020

Hi all, for all those who have been given a May start date and was sent a Babcock initial assessment to take - have you sent in your Maths GCSE certificate to be exempt from the assessment?

Curious as to whether you're only exempt from the Maths or for all of them?

Also, what does 'LS' stand for (from the assessments given)?

Further to this, do we have to do a maths test at the start of our training?

I believe you have to do the assessment, just for there knowledge and if you may need extra academic help at the uni. It said when you started the babcok assessment that we will not be marked for this and that it will not be affecting our application.

There is no mention of this but, is there a dress code for the uniform fitting? I was planning on just going in jeans and a top but is that too informal, or am I overthinking this?

It says on the welcome pack, that on the first day you have to come suited and booted.

That's what I was thinking tbh. They do put an emphasis on dressing smart though so I thought I should ask :smile:

Oh apologies, I thought you meant for the first day. So for the uniform fitting, you can wear anything you’re comfortable in. They only measure you for a vest and harness

Anyone had their Day 2 results back recently? If so, how long did it take? Thanks

I actually got mine back relatively recently. Completed it on the 22nd of Jan and got the results on the 12th April.

Yes received it today. Just advice I think in case we get a start date. I think you’re further on than me and I have a medical hold at the mo, so I don’t think it’s a confirmation of getting the job or anything or they wouldn’t be sending it to me!
