A lot of IQ tests online have similar questions to practice with, so if you search for online IQ tests, you can get some more practice.
LOL I Just noticed that too!PteAJL said:From the spelling of the title, I am not questioning why you happened to miss out by one point...

skyhigh10 said:IMO (which means absolutely nothing), I would not base anything off 3 months and I wish the CF changed their policy to a minimum wait time of 1 year. What am I basing this off of? A subjective experience with recruiting. I would love some recruiting staff/members to weigh in if able. Those who rush back in after 90 days, generally how successful were they? (ffs do not bring IQ into the question :evil: )
For sure you must brush up on all three testing areas . Only you will know if you're ready. DO NOT fool yourself. If you are not ready, hold off. The insanity you will have to go through to be granted a third rewrite is enough to make you want to tour with Bieber instead of the Forces. No doubt some people brush up and pass, but I cannot caution you enough to be mindful of what it means to retake that test and not meet the cutoff.
Honestly,, the knowledge I attained between tests wasn't something I could just search on youtube and store after 90 days. Maybe you're the same? Maybe not? Give it some thought either way.

skyhigh10 said:I'd have to disagree with you, people do change. Math was never my strongest subject yet later on I did very well at it. In those three months or year , who knows how much said person is actually studying. Bottom line, there is more to the CFAT than just a few math problems.
SeR said:Perhaps you should reread the original post: "Everything was good he says but my problem solving."
The level of skill required to answer the questions on the CFAT is quite minimal. An average high school math course is roughly an hour and a bit, five days a week, for five months, and you're telling me that one might need upwards of one year to be able to answer questions involving multiplication and division? WOW
skyhigh10 said:Since when was everything based off your level of mathematical aptitude?
Sure, 3 months, 6 months, 157 months. The whole point is frivolous. When someone doesn't pass by one point, I'd sure as hell get my a$$ in check and make bloody well sure I qualify with flying colours the next time around. My serious prep took a good 3 months when word came in . But what i'm trying to say is if I was the same guy who walked in all those years ago, no amount of prep would have changed the outcome. Further academic experiences / credentials assisted my ability to qualify for every trade years later and work problems differently.
How long until another candidate posts here asking why it wasn't as "easy" as it was made out to be? I am speaking from personal experience, my ability to do math / interpret problem solving type math questions (this takes practice) ... trig, algebra, re-learning long division, multiplication with decimals, fractions, etc. Everyone is different. There is no universal "90 day" cure.
SeR said:Well... I have made my point already, and I'm pretty sure it went way over your head, so anyways... I see what you mean, and I have to say that I disagree with you since I don't believe that a review of the "bare-bones-math" should take anymore than a couple of weeks. However, whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable is what you should do.
Have a good one!

Dose anyone have any tips if so please comment under neath
