    Well I crashed and burned in those practice tests. Not too hopeful about the real thing.

    Same as. Having 30 seconds to find the correct data sheet and answer correctly is bollocks.

    Again, absolutely nothing like the earlier examples that were given

    Are the aptitude tests for the 2016 campaign totally different then to the ones for 2014?

    Well they're totally different to what was previously given as examples for 2016 (plus there's no error checking, numerical reasoning is exactly that as they have appeared to have ditched simple mathematical problems.

    I agree that there are too many tabs. Why all the tabs? Why not just 2 tabs with more info on each. Poor design :mad:

    Plus the examples allow for 30 seconds per question... the actual test allows for just over 17 seconds per question.

    Holy fúck.

    5/6 verbal & 4/6 numerical after a few go's and 9 days to practice. I'm getting too used to these poxy public service aptitude tests it seems!

    My god, those tests are appalling. I can't even read some of the figures in the datasheets.

    They really, really are. I'm honestly sitting here stunned at how they've been changed.

    Is it definitely this cut-e bunch that's being used?

    If you get invited for part B, does that mean you passed part A?

    I don't think the practice tests are that bad

    I think so (I'm operating on the assumption that if you gave really bad answers in part A you're being exclude from part B).
