RAF OASC pilot tests

No the reason it's not on here is because the RAF don't want it to be, there is no point worrying it's a test of your innate ability to perform these tasks not revise and revise and revise and learn how to pass the test, what would be the point in that?

As many people have said in the forum if you want to join the RAF your going to have to get used to not knowing everything before something happens.

Then how can I learn how to use and do all these?, "measure of general and spatial awareness using basic aircraft instrumentation (alt, art horiz, vertical speed, air speed, compass aswell as turn and bank). First part uses just the artificial horizon and compass to identify the correct orientation of an aircraft from a set of pictures, the second part uses all 6 instruments and given a number of verbal descriptions of orientation. You then have determine which description matches what you have on screen"?

don't get worked up about it that's what messed me up once I relaxed I started to perform really well, shame about the memory right at the start which cocked me up.

That's kinda the point. When you get there the tests will be totally unlike anything you have ever tried before! You'll be given all the instructions you need and more than enough practice attempts (believe me I was there very recently). If you want to do well for pilot you should try playing lots of computer games and multitasking, work on your mental arithmetic and everything else people have mentioned.
Also I wouldn't worry about doing too well in the tests, even if you do score very competitively you will more than likely have at least an 18+ month wait before you can progress (according to the boarding officer who briefed us) due to the current recruitment situation. If this happens you could very well have to retake the aptitude tests again at a later date.

I went for pilot and scored excellent in pilot related tests but failed some for ATC which were to do with the stupid UAV test and memory cause they were early on in my battery of tests so my score was a low pass of 130 was absolutely gutted

So basically you need to get higher scores to be considered for other careers despite going for pilot. And what was the UAV test about?

You are graded on all roles that require apptitude testing when you go to OASC. They are each weighted differently thus you get different scores come out for each branch. I passed the test related to pilot easily but failed ATC miserably so even though if you were to look at my stanines in the result paper it would look like an easy pass I only scraped a pass of 130 because of tests not related (directly) to pilot.

The UAV test is a multi tasking test doing up to 8 different tasks at a time.

Your score is dependant on all parts of the test even the parts which arent related to your branch to give you a total score. When you go for your results you will get an overview of each role which will have parts of the tests you have to pass to pass that branch, on top of that you have an overall score which for pilot has been increased from 112 to 125 this year.

Not much to say about instrument test I'm afraid it's just your ability to intepret the data from the instuments, they give you 6 options to choose from which are very similar to each other.

I'm at university at the moment not holding out much hope for the RAF they were rather blunt about my chances and chances of other people, they did strongly reccomed that if nothing happens this time round that I re apply after university and tbh the way the RAF is at this time I would much rather wait a few years have a degree and join the RAF in a better state than it is now (hopefully)

One very last question, on the instrument test, does the test explain to you how to use "the alt, art horiz, vertical speed, air speed, compass aswell as turn and bank" and how to interpret and do the calculations as i am a complete stranger to those instruments.
