ABOUT SPEED DISTANCE TIME TESTS
Speed distance time tests are used most commonly during selection processes for the Armed Forces and the Aviation industry.
It makes perfect sense that a pilot should be capable of knowing how long it will take him to fly a certain distance along with and at what speed.
The same applies for officer’s in the Army, Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. They must be able to calculate accurately how long it will take their soldiers to travel a set distance.
In order to be competent in the use of speed distance time tests you must aim for both accuracy and agility.
The first thing you should be fully conversant with is the 12 times table.
We also recommend that you learn and absorb the following patterns. These will help you to answer the questions faster.
- There are 2 periods of 30 minutes in an hour;
- There are 3 periods of 20 minutes in an hour;
- There are 4 periods of 15 minutes in an hour;
- There are 5 periods of 12 minutes in an hour;
- There are 6 periods of 10 minutes in an hour;
- There are 10 periods of 6 minutes in an hour;
- There are 12 periods of 5 minutes in an hour;
- There are 15 periods of 4 minutes in an hour;
- There are 20 periods of 3 minutes in an hour;
- There are 30 periods of 2 minutes in an hour;
- At 60 mph, you travel one mile, every minute.
SPEED, DISTANCE AND TIME CALCULATIONS
When it comes to speed, distance and time calculations, the most effective way to solve these questions is by using the following formulas:
SPEED CALCULATION
To work out the speed:
Speed = distance ÷ time
i.e. 60 km in 1.5 hours
60 ÷ 1.5 = 40 km per hour
DISTANCE CALCULATION
To work out the distance:
Distance = speed × time
i.e. 40 km/h for 1.5 hours
40 × 1.5 = 60 km
TIME CALCULATION
To work out the time:
Time = distance ÷ speed
i.e. 60 km at 40 km/h
60 ÷ 40 = 1.5 hours
