Taking the CFAT Wednesday

[imported_LoKe]

I've been scheduled to go in and take the CFAT (Canadian Forces Aptitude Test) on Wednesday at 9:00AM.

I've never had to take this sort of test (aptitude/IQ) in a professional environment, where it will be timed. To be honest, I'm nervous as hell. I took the online practice test to get an idea of what the test would be like and I ended up with a perfect score (perhaps I was lucky on a question or two).

But, I suppose, my question is simple:

What can I do to make things easier the day of the test? I'm not much of a breakfast person, but on that day I'm sure I'll need to eat something. Is there anything in particular that will energize me to make me more alert? I drink a lot of coffee, and I'm well past the point of crashing after the morning coffee, but is there a reason I shouldn't drink any that morning (other effects)?

If its anything like the US military test it judges your ability to understand specific areas. Its not ment to be hard, just hard enough to weed out the people who arent good in some areas. They dont want somebody thats scored high in mechanical and low on everything else working on computers and vice versa. I've known many people who I consider smart that got perfect scores so its not something that's impossible or anything. Hell I took it at school when I was a sophomore and didnt even know wtf was going on so I didnt really care how I answered, I just wanted to get it done. I didnt know what the test was for but turns out I qualifed for every job

To answer your question, I'd definitely eat a good breakfast, cereal, eggs, bacon, toast whatever you like. Get a good nights sleep and take a snack or something small with you with some sugar to give you some quick energy before the test, gl

Passed and qualified for...everything. A surprise, to say the least. I had a nice BLT this morning before taking the test, and a single cup of coffee. They couldn't tell me what my actual results were, but I must have done well to qualify for all the positions.

Interview and medical on the 30th. =)
