You could start with these sites

Or if you're a Janner use your 48 fingers and toes...

:twisted:

 

You have a section of paper next to the answer sheet to do working out on. You should also have gotten a booklet with practice questions in it (This is RN\RM, not sure about RAF and Army). The thing to remember with these tests are, you aren't negatively marked so you can guess if you REALLY can't figure it out. And if you can't answer, move on to the next question and when the tester says 2 or three minutes to go, guess the unanswered ones.

Good luck with them. I got my interview with the RM on thursday myself.

 

I did the tests yesterday, and passed for the ET(WE) branch.

It was really quite easy I wouldnt worry to much about it as maths is not my strong point and I needed a high score in the Numeracy Section to get into this branch.

They will send you a practice book before the test which is quite helpfull.

Ive got my interview a week on monday, am dreading that!

 

your spelling leaves a bit to be desired as well lol

 

Do not worry...just relax and be yourself

 

Thanks alot, I have the practice test book, and didn't seem to do too bad at it.

At the back is the Articifer Apprentice RE test, I haven't been told whether I need to practice for that!

I want to join as a Marine Engineer, Submarine Service, I feel stupid for asking but cannot speak to anyone at careers office as not open on a Saturday but does anyone know whether I need to sit that test as well?

Cheers

 

Ive applied for ET(WE) Weapons Engineer.

I did not have to do the RE Test.

 

I got a book before sitting my test, succeed at psychometric testing - the armed forces entry level, by Bernice Walmsley, gave you a full test example, so was good prep, good luck mate.

 

thanks to everyone for your comments, and all the best for pursuing your RN careers, found out 100% do not need to do the RE test so relaxed a little!! but not much, thanks again and good luck

 

Wow, if that's the sort of questions you get in the test, then I'm buggered!!! :???:
