The aptitude test is designed to show what you are good at and what you are not, some people just cannot see which way cogs should turn and some see it naturally.

When I joined up you could not get 'practice' questions as the idea was to see what your aptitude was, it was not a pass or fail, it simply pointed you at the stuff you were supposedly good at.

I honestly don't think having a go at some online and then trying to learn something you are weak in is good for you, your career or the Air Force and can simply allow people to be enlisted in a mismatched trade.

That's just my opinion though so please don't take it as criticism, you would be silly to deny yourself aids that others use, just don't be dissapointed or annoyed if you just don't 'get' some bits of the test, you are not supposed to be brilliant at everything.

CC, what are you applying for?

Weebl, that is a good point, I'm rubbish at MC and EC but I think it's good to practise. Just to exercise your brain, it is like a muscle and must be used to perform well.
