Borderland wrote: » Eh not that I can remember. There is a practice booklet that comes with the invitation to sit the test. As for the actual test, you do a tutorial prior to the actual test. I tended to just do the practice tutorial 7/8 times and then launch into the test. They used Mindmill in previous years, although that is probably subject to change.

Borderland wrote: » They’ve issued the Army and Navy tests. The Aer Corp psychometric tests are different to the ones for the Army/Navy and will presumably be sent when they’re ready to send them on. The Aer Corp process is different to the Army/Naval insofar as you go to Badonnell for the fitness etc whereas everyone else goes to Curragh. They could be operating to a different schedule. Would just sit tight if you’re waiting on an Aer Corp psychometric. Maybe give them a call Friday if you’ve not heard anything or if you know they’ve sent Aer Corp tests out. Only drawing attention to yourself otherwise!

I’ve heard that these were usually sent out post group assessment but pre interview. On military.ie on the Cadets section they now have: “The Cadet Competition is held annually and is the only way for potential candidates to join the Defence Forces to become an Army Line Officer. Candidates undergo psychometric and fitness testing, an interview and a medical exam.” I wonder have they gotten rid of the group assessment because of Covid?? No mention of it on the website and difficult to see how they could run it in practice.. Just cut people based on the personality test/psychometric scores and then interview slightly more than they otherwise would??
