ABOUT THE RAF AIRMAN TEST (AST)
There are lots of different trades available in the Royal Air Force and they all require different scores on the Airman Selection Test. Therefore, it is important to get the highest score possible during the test.
Use this training video and also the downloadable testing papers I will give you access to during this video.
The RAF Airman Test (Airman Selection Test) consists of:
VERBAL REASONING TEST - this test will determine how effectively you can interpret written information.
NUMERICAL TEST - this test will assess how well you interpret numerical data.
WORK RATE TEST - this test is utilised to see how fast you can work and also how accurate your work is.
SPATIAL REASONING TEST - this is designed to examine your ability to work with different shapes and objects.
MECHANICAL COMPREHENSION TEST - which is used to assess how effectively you can work with different mechanical concepts.
ELECTRICAL COMPREHENSION TEST - will assess your ability to work with different electrical concepts.
MEMORY TEST - determines how accurately you can remember and recall information.
3 TIPS FOR PASSING THE RAF AST TEST:
1. Practice LOTS OF TEST QUESTIONS.
2. PRACTICE UNDER TIMED CONDITIONS.
3. AIM FOR SPEED AND ACCURACY.

[@LBelacquax]

Thank you very much for this! It was really useful to see examples of the kinds of questions I'll be asked.

[@Biggles2498]

I took all the OASC Selection Tests at Biggin Hill 1976 for Pilot &/or Navigator. We (my syndicate) were all invited to take the Selection Tests for NCO Aircrew eg Flight Engineer (C130) or Air Loadmaster also and on considering these tests were for Non-Commissioned Aircrew they were far harder and more technical than the Officer Selection Tests ! Despite our academic achievements and a sprinkling of Flying Scolarships amongst our motley clutch of Pilot "hopefuls" not one of us even got considered for a Ground Commission !

[@oPalmyy]

this is now the Royal Navy test, (DAA) i took my first attempt at the DAA blind after previously passing my psychometric last year, and was unsuccessful as i wasn't sure what to expect because their website was going through changes so they never had practice question on the website. this video shows the more realistic questions to expect from the Royal Navy test. hopefully i pass my 2nd attempt! was waiting for a start date for HMS Raleigh before they introduced the DAA, now i need to revise again.

Did mine this year and my brain was completely scrambled when it came to numerical reasoning

[@Arron875]

If anyone needs a tip that has helped me massively increase my time on the work rate tests. If you start at the end letter or number you will usually get the answer alot faster than if you were to start on the first. Although this doesn't work for every question I have found that it definitely does for the majority.

Hey Richard, in what way did you practice the test in order to pass this AST in the raf please? I will appreciate some answers. Thanks

[@richardthomas5838]

@@nadialondoner81192 sorry about the late reply! (Don't go on KZbin that much!) In all honesty there is not much you can practise... but ensuring you can quickly work out, speed time distance (type that directly into Google and there are plenty of little tests which will help you out), mental maths, so your times tables 1-20 will definitely help, angles (nothing too in-depth, just ensure you can predict what certain angle of degrees look like). Oooh, and maybe read some newspaper articles and get someone to ask you questions on it to help with memorizing and regurgitating information!). Bar from these, the rest is very much how you perform mentally and physically. Good luck with your test! I'll check this more regularly in case you have any more questions!

Wondering if anyone can help me, I have always really struggled with maths. I have my AST in 2 weeks but I am worried I won’t score high on the maths...my questions being, is the assessment designed to see where you’re at academically and what jobs you can apply for, or is it a real exam where if I don’t pass the maths I won’t get through to the next stage in the process? I want to join as a logistics mover btw. Thanks for any help.
