    Hey Junker, I also had to take it twice to pass. And I also used Lumosity (those raindrops amirite) plus other apps for mental maths, as well as some gaming cuz they told me I was low on spatial stuff. You’re doing all the work to keep sharp — now all you need is strategy for relaxing when...

    Congrats Mother Goose! There's not going to be a straight answer on this -- everyone's mileage varies -- but here's my experience so far: 1) After BMOQ, I got posted to NDHQ for my BTL/OJT (since Dec 2019)... flying a desk 2) I'm renting an apartment because there are no PMQs available for...

    Hey guys! I got my offer for DEO-ACSO in July, headed to BMOQ Sep 07. I'm so freaking excited!!!  ;D Although I'm not too worried about BMOQ (it sounds akin to being on a varsity/provincial sports team.. which I've done plenty!), I am however anxious about trade school. Any tips you guys can...

    You Want To Be A Pilot : 2018 - present

    I'm just going with what the recruiter told me. He said if I made the list then I can expect an offer. It might take years, and they'll ask if I want to stay on the list, but one will come -- as long as the position is open.

    You Want To Be A Pilot : 2018 - present

    Dude, if you passed ACS then you have a chance cuz they're so desperately in need of pilots (and ACS is "the easiest part of getting your wings", as they say). Once you get on the competition list then you're pretty much golden... it's just a waiting game (and it's killing me lol). They can't...

    Good job on getting ready! It may sound stupid and excessive, but I brought everything along with me that I knew would let me relax: laptop with movies (there's no wifi), my Switch, some comfort snacks and beverages, yoga mat, bubbles to take a bath, gym clothes to go run it off. Whatever works...

    I did the interview before going to ACS. I think it can vary a lot.

    Your assumption is correct, to a certain extent: the info I'm passing along is what can readily be found online. I am not divulging any specific parts of the test, which would be in breach of the non-disclosure agreement.

    I found it -- see attached It's based on the RAF selection process (which is what ours is based on) Sauce: https://rafcbat.wordpress.com/results-and-scores/ Assuming that WSO = ACSO, then it would seem that Instrument Comprehension was my Achille's Heel and/or my overall score didn't get to...

    Thanks for the great info you guys!! @Yolotuber: any chance you got that nifty chart for ACSO? It would be interesting to compare it with the Pilot chart you posted... cuz obviously now I'm curious. I was told I scored exceptionally high for Systems Logic Test, above average for Trace Test 1...

    You Want To Be A Pilot : 2018 - present

    Not a recruiter but I recently came back from aircrew selection, where the pilot giving the Realistic Job Preview presentation said "there's one very important thing that recruiters fail to mention: it can take 3-4 years to get your wings AND THEN you add the 7 years of mandatory service". So...

    TLDR: who knows? At ACS they sit you down like 10min after you're done the testing and tell you how well you did. In my case the first time at ACS they said "You passed the requirement for AEC but not the other two trades -- however you nearly made the cut for ACSO so we'd recommend you try...

    Yeah but I'm asking about DEO ACSO... that's what I'm on the competition list for. Last I heard (in October) there were 40 positions open.
