Hello, long story short..
Last year I was applying for WSOp and passed my CBAT tests but failed my filter interview so I was prosponed for 6 months. Fast forward to this year and I pass my interview so I was booked in for my OASC on the 23rd of may, brilliant news!...
..No. My CBAT results from last year ran out on the 19th of may so I was booked in to do those the day before my OASC Whilst I was already at Cranwell (they wouldnt give me just a few days benefit of the doubt), and lo and behold, I fail them! Absolutely gutted. I missed out on my OASC and possible career by the space of 3 days. Devastated does not even come close.
So the point of this post is to ask just how the results are calculated? Last year I was hitting 100's across the board, and this time I barely scraped 70s.
(For those who havent been through CBAT yet) Some of the tests have an amount of questions to complete in a certain amount of time, and it's very difficult if not impossible to complete all of them!
See, last year I aimed to complete as many questions correctly as I could in the time given, meaning I usually hit about 6-7 out of the 15 or so and then finished that particular test there. BUUUT this time, when the time ran down to about 30 seconds I just randomly entered answers(usually ABC or 123 answers) to try and scrape as many extra marks as I could instead of leaving them blank, (because why not, right?) I can't help but feel like this was my downfall.
I'm basically asking, are the CBAT results calculated as a percentage of answers given? for example if you only answer 6/15 questions, are the other 9 instantly marked as incorrect? Or is the result calculated from a percentage of the correct answers 6 you answered, so answering all of those 6 correctly leaves you with a score of 100% and an effective pass? confusing I know but I dont know how else to word the question hence the long explanation and back story. Thanks in advance.
