On Friday I did my poly for a PD. It was at 1 in the afternoon and i had not had anything to eat pretty much all day which made me feel even more nervous. After the first test, which i failed horribly. I had a post-interview in which i brainstormed down to all the little things that i ever did and didn't tell in the pre-test. The second test i failed also, this time i had told him my entire life story and it still came up deceptive. After that one i got a glass of water and took a quick break to get some fresh air, came back still nervous as hell and passed. On the last test he told me that i still had "reaction" but not deception. Am I out of the running after failing the first two?
Depends on what you admitted to in between the tests. If you made no relevant admissions and you had a good ppd that knows his machine is crap, then you probably are still in the running. They may pull you in for another one though before they let it go. If you took the test before you read the BOOK, then your lucky as hell you didn't blow it big time!! Better read it quick, or again, in case they call you up for a surprise test!
don't admit ANYTHING duringthe exam. If they accuse you of lying DENY IT. Even if they keep accusing you of lying DENY IT! Stick to your guns!
