PASS THE ARMY APTITUDE TESTS
Since July 1992, as part of the Army selection process, you will be expected to undertake and pass an assessment called the ‘Army Aptitude Test’. This was previously known as the BARB test, but had its content changed in 2018 and is now the Army Aptitude Test.
During this assessment, you will undergo a series tests, each used to assess different key skills and qualities required to join the Army. The test is used to measure a candidate’s ability to interpret and understand information, and process that information in order to solve problems.
PASS THE ARMY APTITUDE TESTS
The selection test for the army is designed to assess potential employees ‘suitability’ for specific posts. The higher scores you achieve, the more job opportunities you will have at your disposal. So, whilst the minimum pass mark for entry in the army is 26, a candidate will need to score far higher if he or she wishes to join a regiment such as the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.
The key to success is to try your hardest to get 100% correct answers in the test that you are undertaking. If you aim for 100% in your preparation, then you are far more likely to achieve the trade or career that you want.
