Thanks for the information BUCK.

To ease the tension for pilot hopefuls out there, I toke this from BUCK_HRA post. "Time Frame: After a selection it can take 3-5 business days for a CFRC to be informed of who was selected, from there it can take another 5-7 business for an applicant to be informed (depending on the workload...

I swear that pause by the selection officer is intentional. It happened to me and my mind began going over what am I going to do next in life. And that stupid-face feeling after being notified you passed, can only count on one hand the number of times I felt that way.

No offer yet. My recruiting centre is Toronto. Did your recruiter give you an idea of your level of competitiveness?

I believe in early September. I had to email my file manager to find out that I was placed on the competition list. Congratulations man. Prep well for the physical components of BMOQ and kick ass!

Merit-listed pilot hopeful here. Are you sure a selection occurred on Jan 18 for pilot? Did your recruiter tell you this?

Visualizing long division. I get 1.72 from 155/90. Dont need to go further than that. 155/90 = 1 with remainder 65 bring down the zero. Decimal place. 650 divide by 90 is 7 with remainder 20 ( 650- 630= 20, 90* 7 = 630) . Bring down the zero. 200 divide by 90 = 2 remainder 20. You get 1.72

Just wanted to say thanks for the information. It is much appreciated during the application process and eases the waiting period.

    Fair enough. In my experience, the RAF practice tests are a good intro to such calculations. Problem is, the numbers given can be broken down into easy to work with numbers. As mentioned before in a previous post, you have to practice working with numbers that cannot be broken down and...

Mental math training helps alot. How many of us practice 155/90 to two decimal places on a regular basis outside of preparing for ACS? There is ground that can be made up if preparation is commenced well in advance and is consistent and challenging. Practicing SDT calculations mentally also...

I would suggest revealing a bit of information regarding your self, your situation, place in the application process, etc. Your decision about going jets or helicopters is pretty mute, seeing how that decision is far off into the future, based on the needs of the RCAF and your performance...

Since it's a multiple choice test, use a process of elimination. Usually the folded cube or shape will give you three visible sides. Fold the shape according to the sides shown for that answer and determine if it makes sense/ is a match. That is a test taking strategy I would recommend for time...

    From your knowledge/ experience, are the low numbers across the board or confined to specific occupations?(P.S. Not to hijack the subject matter, but how is PFT treating you?)

Never physically 'patted down', but you go through a search. If you are wearing a jacket or a large sweater they ask you to remove it after you give them a piece of ID. They then ask you to lift your shirt slightly to I suppose ensure you are not hiding a concealed weapon. They also ask you if...

You know SDT questions are going to be included in the test battery. If you are having trouble with 2-3 digit questions, there isnt much practical benefit jumping to 3-4 digit questions. Whatever your training level, work to increase proficiency until the next level. This goes for all types of...

Dont think the test will change much in the next 10 years. Its only been implemented for selection purposes since 2013. When the RAF in the UK do away with it, then the RCAF may follow suit. I do think that AEC test candidates will have a series of additional tests to perform though, from my...

When you get called at the end and sat down for your results, in my case, they gave me a specific number. He then went over the results and indicated my percentile in the different domains. In the candidate results page they give to you, it gives a pass or fail beside the three occupations...

Hey xCal. Congrats on the pass. Interested to know the pass rate for your group (ie. number of people sitting versus successful applicants).

Absolutely not  :tsktsk:. Some tests are pilot specific while other tests are included in the evaluation of all three occupations. Even though I sat the test in late Feb. 17, I do not know which tests correspond to which occupation. Taking an educated guess, instrument comprehension tests are...

That was a great production, had me engaged throughout the full ~52min.
