Similar to other nations, Wales recruits individuals across the full range of scores from high to lower. Scores enable a cut off as part of the recruitment process so there is alignment with posts available and also the minimum expected standard to enter a training programme. The proportion in each quartile of the scoring range varies between programmes and year-on-year across all the nations.
