Royal Airforce Aptitude Test

Hi i’m due to sit my CBAT at the end of august for WSO, what would be the biggest tips on how to revise, what areas to focus on, and does time actually not matter when answering the questions. I would also appreciate if WSOs currently serving or that have gone through the process can give me any tips on the application process. Thanks.

They are aptitude tests, so revision isn't going to help much. Making sure your mental maths is decent is probably useful, it's all time or degree based, so you need to know your 6/60/360 times tables. Time is important if the tests are timed, and they probably will be, aircraft can't be paused for the crew to work things out! You need to be cool, calm and collected.Be confident, but listen carefully, be your best self and show them what you can do. If you don't get in this time, listen to the feedback and improve for next time. Good luck.
