I used some books with ASVAB tests (google it) - English and mathematics parts.

 

[TYLERgibson]

I found the test not that difficult at all, just look over some of these and you will be fine!

Okay so im in a bit of a dilemma. Tomorrow I have my CFAT test. Last night I downloaded TestReady Pro. Ive been studying all day, and all night, last night. Ive found that the Verbal and Spacial sections are fairly easy on this test, and ive been getting 90's and 100's on that, however im doing very very bad on the problem solving part. I have a few questions. 1, is TestReady pro excellent? as it claims to be... and 2, if im getting 50's in the problem solving portion now, can i turn that around by 830 am tomorrow? seeing how its about 5 pm now...

Please respond asap! thanks

Did you just start refreshing yourself on all the subjects today?

1, is TestReady pro excellent? as it claims to be...

No idea.  I'm sure it has it's pros/cons.

2, if im getting 50's in the problem solving portion now, can i turn that around by 830 am tomorrow? seeing how its about 5 pm now...

Cramming all night may help,  but it may also be negative.  Stressing over this, staying up late/lack of sleep may have a negative impact on you tomorrow.

Please respond asap! thanks

Perhaps you shouldn't have done everything last minute,  then you wouldn't be in this position.

Biggest thing,  don't stress out/panic over this.  Either you know the material or you won't.  This program may be stressing you out with the test results it gives you,  but who knows you may do great on the CFAT as well.  Read the questions,  make sure you understand and answer it.

What Skeletor said.

I would continue studying with some nice calm music (Owsey) and just take the time to work on a few questions very thoroughly..

 

[skyhigh10]

You're not obligated to take the CFAT tomorrow. If you do not feel up to it or you're not at ones best.... then postpone it. My review was nothing short of overkill, and began a few months prior. The weeks leading into it however, I was doing 4-7 hours per day in math, problem solving, spatial, etc.

Or,  you can of course just take it and see what happens. You will hear that it's difficult, that it's easy, and almost everything in between. Though I never want to say to myself "there was more I could have done" .  Securing a rewrite is no simple task these days.

Hello everyone, this question may have already been answered and if so I apologize! My application is currently being processed for Direct Entry in Intelligence. I was wondering what score you need on the CFAT to move on to Basic Training?

Thanks in Advance!

 

[MikeL]

If you want to be a INT O,  you can think of this as OJT;  search.  Lots of info regarding the CFAT here plus everything else there is too know about the recruiting process.


Also,  if someone told you the minimum CFAT requirements for INT O what would that mean for you?  Nothing...  AFAIK the CFRC won't let you know what it is,  nor will they tell you how you scored in each area of the CFAT.  They will tell you if you met the requirements for the trade you want,  as well as what other trades you qualified for.

There is more too getting onto a BMOQ(Officer basic training) then just passing the CFAT also.

 

[Scott]

Perfect answer, perfect time for a lock.

I retook my aptitude test and didn't meet the requirement score to become an infantry, i did did enough to become a cook, but the area that i live in doesn't require a cook. What else can i do to get into the military ? this has been my life long career that i wanted to pursue...

 

[brihard]

I would suggest taking a year or two, going back to school and getting the necessary academic upgrading to merit another kick at the cat with the CFAT.

Sorry dude, but I'll be blunt. If you can't pass the CFAT for infantry you have academic issues, and you need to work on it before we can take a chance on you. Stereotypes to the contrary, we are not a simple profession, and some cognitive ability is important in what we do. A lot of what we do engages skills you wouldn't expect. Look at it the same way as if you failed the fitness test: You know the standards you must reach, now you must motivate yourself to self improve to reach them.

 

[The_Green_Basterd]

This is the exact info your Military Career Counselor gave you when he or she spoke to you after your rewrote the CFAT.  Call them and they will tell you everything you need to know.  What they will say is that you need to upgrade you education, "1 level," from what it currently is in order for a 3rd CFAT test to be justified.  What that 1 level upgrade means, is if you have grade 11, you need to go get your High School diploma.  If you have High School, you need to go get a Bachelors in something.  If you already have that, than you need to get a Masters... in something.

Good luck!

There is more to it than that, and it is by far from a guarantee.  A 3rd CFAT requires quite a few people to sign off on the waiver.  Which has been explained in MANY MANY other threads.

 

[bLUE fOX]

I have a side question: How do you get a second CFAT? I did mine in 2002 (or so) and didn't do as great as I thought I did, because I recently applied to the regular force and had my application canceled because my score was too low. I was later told by a captain from CFRC Halifax that a second CFAT could only be done under special circumstances.

 

[Franko]

Please do a search, as Hatchet Man implied.

It's been discussed ad nauesum.

LOCKED

 

[Ygolohcysp]

I was doing the practice test and I came by a question which required you to 1105/16. Do I have to be able to do this in my head, or can I at least use pen and paper to do long division? I know I can use a calculator on the practice test, but thats not really practicing haha.

 

[Oscar590]

They give you a blank sheet of paper to do those kind of equations on during the CFAT.
