Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

[Messerschmitt]

The only reason I want to go to RMC is I've heard that for the pilot trade, they take first pick from RMC and then go to Civi Universities and DEO. I'm not sure if this is just a rumor or not, but that is the only thing that is worrying me; I don't want to be at a disadvantage.

You're not at a disatvantage. ROTP is the same in terms of program, being that you go to RMC or civi u.

AFAIK, they first pick ROTP, then DEO then CEOTP

 

[arezaie]

Oh so you mean they first pick ROTP - not RMC. Therefore anyone classified as an ROTP applicant, whether in a Civi U or RMC gets first pick?

 

[Motard]

when I spoke to a recruiter he told me there were 500 positions, 250 rmc and 250 civi u.

How soon after submitting your academic questionnaire  did you hear back about your cfat and medical?  What form did the contact come?  email, mail, phone?

 

[Mahaica]

For mine, it took two weeks from the time I submitted the ROTP questionaire for  the recruiter to contact me. I got an email today with the documents I need to take in. So I will try to do that on Monday just to speed the aptitude testing, medical etc. 

Any one living in Toronto and would like to study for the aptitude test: Please contact me(I started today even thought I havent schedule a time as yet)

I failed  :rage: by 1 point previously for my career chose - Aerospace some thing - (It was my only chose at the time). Very discouraging as the sample is not even close to the level of difficulty to the actual exam. I failed to prepare, thought I knew every thing.  After 3 yrs of college, I am back -- Lets study

If you have skype etc and want to study from a distance .. thats cool too

From what I've heard the best way to prepare is by simply finding IQ tests online and things of that nature.

And, from experience, I know those IQ tests are very similar to most professional IQ tests.  Considering I do well on those I'm not planning on studying for it.  Am I wrong?

Well, when I did my CFAT, I didn't really "study" for it either. I just searched up a bunch of online IQ tests and did those. They are good preparation for the CFAT since the questions are quite similar. If you can master those, you'll do fine on the spatial and problem solving portions. For the language skills portion, it's just a matter of expanding your vocabulary.

Just our of curiousity, any second/third time applicants on here?

Second-time-around applicant here for 1. Armour Officer 2. Infantry Officer. Applied for Civilian University ROTP (as a current university student). My interview is at the end of November. Only 400 ROTP spots this year, I've been told by my file manager. After first selection for ROTP 2012-2013 there were 400 slots left to fill! Looks like competition will be even more tight this year. Good luck to all applicants!

I'd like someone to confirm this as my recruiter(s) still said 500.

Good luck though!

It's just what I heard. From my experience talking to recruiters...there's a lot of hearsay going on, haha! Thanks for the wishes!

 

[Sierra-528]

First post for me.

I've applied for the September 2013 year out of Vancouver. Good luck to all who applied! Take my CFAT Tuesday morning. Looking towards Infantry.

 

[FutureSailor]

Good luck! I received my CFAT call today for Wednesday. Oddly enough, he told me to go to www.cfatready.ca..

Sure, try out their free version if you want. If you look through the forums, the general consensus is that it's not worth it to pay for something like that.

When I did my CFAT, the best way for me was just free IQ tests online. They're quite similar to the questions on the CFAT. As well, there are free versions of the ASVAB that the US military uses.

Good luck.

Thanks  , I've been studying everyday and I'm pretty sure I'll do well. Many IQ tests, spatial tests, math tests (my weak point, which is apparently not uncommon), verbal, etc.

I didn't think CFATready was associated with the Forces is all.

Studying daily will definitely help you! ...or at least give you some confidence going into the CFAT ;D
