Good luck on Wednesday by the way.

There are 2 sections totalling 100 questions. The first section (75 Qs), is comprised of IQ style questions for which no study is really required. The second section as I understand it assesses your suitability for entry into ADFA and is more mathematics based. If you are studying physics and an advanced maths subject then you will be set. Otherwise read over the guide they send you and study up on the areas in the test questions. The test is a piece of cake, best advice I can give is get plenty of sleep the night before, have a decent breakfast and don't stress about it. You will be pushing it for time no matter how good you are, don't worry about the time as it will just make you rush and make mistakes, if you are really unsure, just take a guess from the two most likely answers but don't spend 10 minutes on one question that you will have no hope on. Best of luck.

No good guys im afraid. I 'failed' the phycology interview. But they offered me the opportunity to apply for another job straight away instead of waiting a year. So i'm down but not out. Still very disappointing though. Thinking of taking up an offer of an electrician apprenticeship now.

In the Defence Force obviously? If so, TAKE IT.

A trade is worth it's weight in gold.

Nope, just out in the real world. Pretty keen on taking it now. But the DF is really something I want to do, so im not sure.

Do you have an option to do a trade in the DF, even though you didn't pass your psych?

Yeah they offered me another chance, clean slate to come back and chose another job that was on my list. They told me to chose more carefully next time and be 100% sure on what it is I want to do. (which is what I did last time but anyway).

What was it in the psych interview that caught you out?

I'm not 100% sure but I think they feel im not fully commited to do 11 years in the DF. They also got the idea (not sure how) that im not ready to leave all my mates and family.
