Hello,
My name is Richard and i'm about to join the Royal Marines. Upon my visit to the Careers Office, i'll come across a Recruiting Test. The pyschometric test that involves sub-tests such as general reasoning ability, verbal ability, numeracy and mechanical comprehension leaves me with some questions that i really need answered.
I want to become a Reconnaissance Operator, thats the Branch i'm going to choose. I've read in the booklet provided that if i don't get the required mark for the Branch i chose, i'll have to choose a different Branch altogether; but i've phoned the Royal Marines phone line and got told that the Recruiting Test is only to be passed, this will then make you eligible for further processing. I'll then be able to retake the test when i'm serving as a General Duties Marine at any time.
So my questions are as followed:
1) Will i only get one chance to pass this test, if i'm able to retake it, can i retake when i'm serving as a General Duties Marine?
2) do i have to get a certain mark within the sub-tests to be eligible for the Branch i chose?
thank you for any replies to this subject and you're time to asnwer the questions,
Richard C
