Hrmm, Algebra and Trig? Which test is this for? I remember some Trig on the Initial Airforce exams, but was mostly tested on Physics, specifically Mechanics.Originally Posted by R6_kid

This is for initial aptitude tests. I've done the full shebang before but that was four years ago, I remember everything else, except the specific content of the tests.
This is the 'practice' examples they give.

I'm going to be talking to recruitment in the next couple of days to confirm what tests i will be sitting, and how long I have to prepare.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Wow, some of those samples show how much I've forgotten since BursaryI remember aceing the tests back then but questions 3 and 4 in the basic maths hurt my brain
Good luck dude! Flying for the Airforce would be a great career! I'm still gutted I missed out thanks to Helen fucking Clarke

Wow, I just aced that practice test. A pity I'm too old to apply (and I've had my flying medical cancelled until at least november).
Time to ride

Haha, i've got a book on Algebra, and the book i ordered for 'speed maths' arrived today, also just ordered a book specifically on Military Aptitude tests from the states, was recommended it as it is pretty relevant to the RAAF tests which ours are almost a direct copy of.

Wait for the shrink tests at the OASB, whose were are a laugh.... The ggod old, "Please select one that is most like you, and one that is least like you from each group" I remember there being "I enjoy torturing baby kittens" as an option
HONDAAAAAA

For whom the bell tolls
I do remember those as well, the one i remember was "I feel sorry for animals in cages"
PERSEL wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but I know that I want to hit it this time with my maths a lot tidier than it was last time.
I missed out in competition, turns out if i had applied 3mths later I would have got in.

Wait your applying for a 2nd time? Have they changed their stance on that?
After I recieved the letter "Due to recent events, blah blah blah, loss of Aircraft etc etc, we are regretfully cancelling your intake.... signed some dickhead" I went and did my CPL and re-applied 2 years later.
I was then told that while I had "Passed" the selection process initially, you are unable to re-apply
For whom the bell tolls
You're allowed to re-sit PERSEL a second time, assuming you didnt fail the monkey box (co-ordination test) the first time.
I got a letter 18mths after my PERSEL course saying that I was eligible to reapply.
The fact that you had your CPL is probably what took you out of contention, you had 230+hrs of civilian flying habits. They like people with a strong interest in Aviation which they can train to their own habits and procedures, this is why I havent taken up any formal training before knowing I can't go through with the Air Force gig.

Ahh yea that makes sense... I had 3 mates go through before me and all got knocked out by the Monkey Box. When I initially went through I had about 30hrs flight time making the box a lot easier.
When I re-applied I had over 300 hours
Good luck mate, hope it all goes well for ya! Out of all the options you've laid out recently, the RNZAF would by far my preferance!

I tutor maths, all high school levels (Stage 3 maths at uni atm). I've also done the airforce tests, got through the initial testing, interview etc and was knocked out after the few days on base. PM me
