Toronto Recruitment Centre

Is the aptitude test done on paper or the computer at the Canadian Forces Toronto Recruitment Centre?

Also, I am assuming we are not allowed to use calculators.

You aren't allowed to use calculators on the aptitude test; however if you know your math, you won't need one. Good luck!

All testing is done on Chalk boards, due to the age of the recruiting centre's building.  What I would advise is you bring your own chalk, as they give you one old used white piece, and many times this has proven to not be enough to even finish your testing!

Something like the above fits nicely in your pocket, and allows you to detail various answers with multiple colours.  It also shows the recruiters your initiative to adapt.

Good luck.

All done on computer.  They will provide paper and pencil for rough work.  As long as you are capable of math it shouldn't be an issue.  Each section is timed, and once you reach that time limit, that section of the test ends.

There is a sample test available on the CF website.  Its a good prep, as the questions on the actual test are very similar.

Good luck!

Does it make a difference ?

All testing is done on Chalk boards,

Upgraded to Lite-Bright last year.

Because non-toxic chalk costs too much and potential recruits have taken to eating the stuff made from lead paint chips.

Yummy

Since I was applying for JTF2superninjasniper school from the get go, they let me write my CFAT with mud and my own sweat.  Anybody else had to do this or am I the only one?  ;D

Those of use going into the Psionics School did the test on the computer... from another room, in the dark.  ;D

Thanks! I have been preparing for the aptitude test using the following links:

I wrote a test similar when I went to work at Canada Revenue Agency. Hopefully, I will do well on my CFAT on Feb 28th.

If you want to study the PERFECT book is a "Public Service Exam Prep" book, the one I used was basically exactly what the CFAT is... it was a perfect study guide. Worth every penny.

Pfft,

Sucker, you fell for his "It's done on computers' Schtick.

You'll see when you get there, and don't forget to bring a brush, if you want to make it in......

I will make sure I bring a brush to the CFAT

How about a GED for the math section?

Hey bud, would this be the site here to order the book? http://www.publicserviceexamprep.com/study_kit.html

And is there a math test section for this or would I look else where to brush up on that?

Thanks

I used some books - ASVAB ( American military test) at Amazon.com for preparing CFAT.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ASVAB
I used  mathematics  and language parts.
It was good for me to remind because I finished high  school 20 years ago.

I've been reading the forums lately in regards to the CFAT. (http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/23193.375.html). It makes me so nervous just reading the entries people wrote stating how hard it is and that they have failed the test.

I took the test from the government website at http://www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/ppc-cpp/pract-test-examn-pract/gct2-ecg2-pratc-i-eng.htm and I pass the practice test with a 31/45. Would that be good enough if I were to write the real CFAT? Is that practice even similar to the CFAT at all in terms of difficulty?

Many thanks!

The test is not hard. make sure you rest properly before, clear your mind and arrived relaxed.

Now, let me ask you a question.

If the test is very dificult, is it going to change your mind about applying for the CF ?

No, its not going to change my mind. Also, I have been studying since I booked my CFAT on Feb 28th.

Ok.

If the difficulty level of the CFAT will not affect your decision to apply, quit worrying about the difficulty level of the test. You want to join, you have to write the test. There's no way around it. Difficult or not is irrelevant. Focus on being prepared rather than how tough it's going to be.
