Thanks

Hello i passed CBAT in October had a filter interview in November which i failed, so i was told to come back in December for a second filter interview which i passed.

I am now waiting for my medical which is in February and the staff at the AFCO have set up a familiarisation visit to cranwell towards the end of january.

Any advice for CBAT and the filter interview?
Thanks

In terms of CBAT it is something you can't really prepare for, the only thing i would advise is to practice speed distance time calculations in your head not on paper, no pens or paper are allowed in CBAT, that said it is only a small section of CBAT. The rest of CBAT tests are based on natural ability things like memory, reaction time, multi-tasking, audible capacity and many more you can't really prepare for this.

A note on motivation keep going and power through the tests, i did really really bad on one section halfway through, but i kept my head up and powered through. The tests are designed so you fail, (my opinion not a fact) there was one section which had 20 questions with only 2 minutes to answer them all i managed about 9 so don't panic its just how it is.

I'm assuming you have had your P2 presentation?

Ok thankyou, very helpful, and yeah I have had my P2

Just wondered what WSOp role you guys would prefer to be streamed into, if you had a choice.

Crewman hopefully rotary, i didn't pass for EW on the CBAT testing and don't have quals for linguist.

TheHog,

OOI, do they now do a separate score for WSOp EW? Or is it still down as generic WSOp?

0902 what does OOI mean?

As far as i am aware yes, the CBAT results sheet has 3 separate scores and requirements for the 3 types of WSOP the only one i passed for was WSOP crewman fortunately for me thats the one i wanted.

Sorry, OOI is out of interest (lazy abbreviation).

Ah, that's interesting. It sounds like its changed format somewhat since I last did it back in Sep'15.

Was it your first attempt at CBAT?

Best regards.

Yes it was my first attempt at CBAT thankfully, i would not want to do it again!

Why are you applying WSOP second time around.

Well done.

The role just interests me, the flying aspect looks challenging, the opportunities to travel and of course to serve my country and make a career out of it.

I feel more confident second time around, so just got to hope that my prior CBAT experience will give me the extra skills I need to gain a good score this time around.

So did you fail CBAT the first time you attempted it?

Sadly so.

Where did you fail? Overall score or a specific area?
