What is the test

[combat_medic]

the aptitude test IS long, but it‘s not that hard. I‘ve done it twice now, (once when I joined, and once when I remustered) and it‘s pretty easy. I was never told my score, but I must have done well both times, because they said I qualified for every trade in the CF, including pilot.

It‘s some grammar, some spacial orientation (what would this shape look like if you turned it 1/4 turn to the left?), some math, some logic (cat is to kitten as dog is to _______), and other stuff. Assuming you have a high school education and no major learning diabilities, you‘ll pass. I‘ve seen people who have problems speaking english who can pass, so don‘t get too hung up on it. Also, if you don‘t finish, don‘t worry about it; most people don‘t and still pass.

Hey,

I belive that people who fail can apply to rewrite the aptitude test a year after they first took it, provided they can show evidence that they would have probably improved. That‘d be like another year of schooling or a year of work.

I wouldn‘t worry about it though, I‘m sure that you will do fine. Just have a good sleep before the test.

Check out some of the previous posts, in particular the ones that give you links to tests that are similar for the forces aptitude test. I am unsure as to whether there is a pass/fail or cut-off mark. A recruiter just mentioned to me that test scores don‘t really matter and that *your* test score is simply compared to other scores. I expect that you do need to get a few of the questions right. But, as everyone says, the test isn‘t that difficult. The test is basically broken up into three smaller tests of various lengths. The instructor will tell you that you have so much time to finish the each section. You will also be guided through each section with a sample question. The entire process may take 1 to 1.5 hours.

Sorry to hear about that. To be honest, I‘m not too sure what to say.

Is there a time limit before you can re-apply? Whatever you do, don‘t take no for an answer. Keep re-applying and, in the meantime, definitely brush-up on your math skills. Just don‘t give up.

I suggest that you go to the library and the use the Internet to find apptitude tests and practice them. If you are still in highschool, seek the advice of the career/guidance counsellor.

They said i do it over in one year.
and yes i am in high grade 11 and i am taking math this year so hopefully i get better at math and be able to hold on form now till next october.

Hey, don‘t sweat it, you are young and have plenty of time. Personally, I think that it‘s better if you wait until you get your OSSD, or whatever the high school diploma is nowadays, before going into reg force (if reg is what you wanted). But, since you are in high school, get some extra instruction from your math teachers as well as your guidance counsellor. Again, check the Internet for app tests, print them up, do the exercises, and seek help/advice from your math teachers on how to do them.

Do i have to wait exactly one year to do my appt test again because i failed the math part of the test and they said they want proof that i took a course in math or something and i am taking a math course in high school this year
and i will finish in less then a year so can i like go when i finish it right away?

Hey I know your in grade 11 a year seems like a long time. But its isn‘t, just wait and take that time to build yourself up. Its not a long time, and if your going into the regs get your high school first, its a basic for everything your going to do in life. And even if you stay in the regs for 20 years your still going to need it.

Hey guys, here is a question for you regarding the physical.

When I was three months old I had open heart surgery to correct one of the valves in my heart which was a little too thick and wasn‘t letting enough blood get into my lungs to be oxygenated. The surgery corrected this and my heart is now in good working order aside from a small murmer from the surgery. I‘ve always been in excellent physical condition and I will have absolutely no problem with the PT test.

My question is this; could this past serious surgery hamper my chances at acceptance or will the y let me on through knowing that I‘m now in good physical condition and have had no problem with my heart since birth?

It is one thing to be outted on somthing you can control, but it will really suck if they don‘t let me in because of this. I‘m in better phsycial shape than anyone I know - **** , I‘d probably outrun the recruiter.

pete: If the defect was fixed and you only have a minor heart murmor left, there shouldn‘t be a problem. You may need to bring a letter from your cardiologist (or whoever performed the surgery) to say that the defect has been repaired, and they may run an EKG on you to be sure, but it "shouldn‘t" be too much of a problem.

Pete,

As far as I can tell, they will accept you as long as you can pass the fitness test and do all of the things required of you in a field environment. They may, however, ask you to get your family doctor to complete a medical release form and he/she will have to state that you can do all of things expected of you without detriment to your health.

For example, I have had reconstructive surgery on my leg a few years ago. I‘m fine now. In fact, I can play soccer and hockey on a competitive level. But, the medical section still wanted my doc to sign off on the forms.

All that said, if you are fit, and the surgey does not/will not present a health problem, I don‘t think that you will have any problem with it. If you have any questions about it, call the medical section at the nearest recruiting centre, they can tell you everything you need to know.
