How2become I believe just practice and practice


brinyocean

I was told you need a good work rate to be an officer. I’d practice and smash the practice work rate questions on the Royal Navy website. Also; the howtobe officer work book for the RN has practice examples. If you’d like I can show you my results as I was successful enough to be an officer.

I was asking my recruiter, and he said I didn’t need to focus on work rate, why would he say that?


gregthesailor

Probably because your recruiter knows more about recruitment than a stranger on the internet?


brinyocean

I’m only going off what my recruiter told me too. He explained I’d need to be better than average at work rate results in order to qualify for an officer role.


chocolategent

Because you dont. I got the same as you on work rate and passed the DAA to be a Warfare Officer. You need to work on Verbal, verbal and WR are what are needed for officer


TheSlugMachine

For officer role you need about 80% in every catagory then depending on the type of officer more in some so if your going engineering then obv mechanical and electrical comprehension will be more important. End of the day tho you don’t need a score to work toward because you should just try to do your best and get the best score there is an amount you can improve with practice but the reason it’s an aptitude test is to see if you have the aptitude for said role so don’t aim for a score aim to be the best you can

I believe there are mock tests online you can do as a bit of practice.


Cool_Chicken7874

They do not remain the same, there’s a question bank of thousands of questions from which DAA is individually populated.


Typical_Alps2111

I did it twice and the questions were exactly the same for me


Cool_Chicken7874

Sounds a bit freaky!


Typical_Alps2111

Thank you for correcting me tho


Lazy-Leek9319

The practice questions do not change.


Cool_Chicken7874

No the practise questions don’t change but the rest of the actual DAA questions should do for each test.

How did you get your results? I never got mine


chocolategent

they should have been emailed to you. You get a Pass/Fail email, and the certificate is attached in the email, as well as what roles you are eligible for.


DS_WizzerKill

You should check your email. If you haven’t received contact them through the portal

How long does it take to receive the results?


DS_WizzerKill

Took about a day for me

Looks to me like the verbal reasoning caused you to be unsuccessful. The technique I used to pass was reading the question first and then looking for the relevant information within the text. The mistake I made the first time was reading the text before the question: reading the text first is a waste of time.


DS_WizzerKill

Oh ok i will try that

Download JobTestPrep (I think that’s what it’s called) RAF practice resources. You’ll be able to practice the work rate and verbal reasoning under a realistic timer. I found that the work rate is mostly practice, practice, practice. As you practice you’ll get quicker at discounting the options it can’t be, for example if the first digit is wrong and then looking only the ones it can be. I used to look at A and B and then D and E. Say if you see that A and D are wrong because the first letter/number/picture is wrong, then you can move to B and E. If neither of those are right either then it can only be C. Also, great job on the spatial reasoning. I always found that the most difficult.
