Hey,
I went to my AFCO today to look at joining the RNR. I know I'm colour blind and will easily fail the CP2 colour test. So I'm looking for some information on the CP3 lantern test. I understand it is a series of red/green/white lights in a dark room. Now I can easily tell traffic lights apart, does this stand me in good stead for passing? I think I'm most concerned about Green/White as I can tell Red/Green apart. Also is there a pass mark, e.g. percentage correct or is it miss one and you've failed?
What I'm trying to do is gauge if I've got a chance of passing before I waste everyones time. Obviously a hard task on something that is rather hard to define as colour perception. If anyone has any tips on where I could get the test done beforehand that would be good, my opticians doesn't do it. Is that the norm or do I just have a rubbish optician?
Thanks in advance
