Measurement of Verbal Reasoning (industry): This test measures ability to draw logical conclusions from complex verbal information presented in narrative form. The task is to indicate whether statements are true, false, or whether it is not possible to say, given the information provided. This test includes 49 questions and is timed for 12 minutes.

Measurement of Numerical Reasoning (industry): This test measures ability to draw logical conclusions from complex numerical information presented in tables and charts. The task is to indicate whether statements are true, false, or whether it is not possible to say, given the information provided. This test includes 37 questions and is timed for 12 minutes.

Discover Rules (logical reasoning): This test measures ability to discover logical rules. The task is to click on one object out of a sequence of objects, which does not fit the rule of the other objects. This test includes 20 questions and is timed for 5 minutes.

These tests should be completed in one sitting; therefore you are asked to set aside approximately 45 minutes to take the tests. This includes reading the instructions and completing the practice questions which are available before the timed part of each test commences. All of the tests require you to work both quickly and accurately. If you are not sure about a question, select your best choice or skip this question. Avoid guessing the answer. It is expected that not all candidates will finish all questions in the time allowed.

You will be asked to complete ten online ability tests (1-10 below), and one short online questionnaire (11 below). These will cover the following areas:

1. Measurement of multitasking capability

2. Measurement of spatial reasoning

3. Ability to concentrate

4. Measurement of perceptual speed

5. Measurement of logical reasoning (inductive)

6. Measurement of numeracy

7. Measurement of spatial orientation

8. Measurement of mechanical-technical understanding

9. Simple understanding of instructions

10. Measurement of logical thinking (deductive)

11. Integrity Questionnaire

If you choose to complete all the tests at the one sitting, you will need to set aside approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes to take all of the tests. This duration includes reading the instructions and completing the practice questions which are available before the timed part of each test commences. All of the tests require you to work both quickly and accurately. If you are not sure about a question, select your best choice or skip this question. Avoid guessing the answer. It is expected that not all competitors will finish all questions in the time allowed.

Do you have to do them all again under supervised conditions like the Army?

Does it not state it in your email that there will be supervised tests following for the top performing candidates?
Not sure about the Navy tests at all, only went for Army.

Will the tests be supervised?

The initial online tests will be completed unsupervised. Successful competitors that are called forward to the next stage of the competition will be re-tested on several of the above tests under strictly supervised conditions. Regardless of your scores in the re-test, only your scores on the unsupervised test may count towards the competition. Significant discrepancies between a competitor’s results on the initial unsupervised tests and those on the supervised re-tests may result in his/her elimination from the competition. Please note that integrity and honesty are key values within the ethos of the Defence Forces and all members of the Defence Forces are expected to uphold these values at all times. As potential members of the Defence Forces, you too are expected to honour these values, both in how you approach this competition and by agreeing to abide by the laid down procedures and rules.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has any experience in the competition timeframes. Was hoping to book a holiday but I don't want to let it go if I paid for it. Any idea how long between each stage and when it all ends (just in case there's a miracle and I'm lucky enough to make it that far)
