Are you preparing for your NZ Air Force Assessment Day?

When you submitting your application to the NZ Defense Force, your Candidate Engagement Facilitator (CEF) will invite you to attend an Assessment Day, or A-Day.  

Joining the NZ Defence Force is a competitive process, so it is important you adequately prepare for your Assessment Day to help you be successful.

Your Assessment Day will be held at your nearest recruiting office, and will include aptitude testing. The purpose of the aptitude tests is to find out which NZDF roles might suit you, your aptitude and your interests.

Aptitude Testing covers seven primary areas;

1. Abstract Reasoning - assesses your ability to work through patterns quickly and accurately.
2. Basic Maths - assesses your ability to work with decimals, fractions and mathematical formulae.
3. Verbal Reasoning - assesses your ability to use and interpret written information. In this test you will be asked to match words of the same meaning.
4. Advanced Maths - a second maths test set at a higher level to assess aptitude for some roles that require a better knowledge of mathematics.
5. Mechanical Reasoning - assesses your ability to work through mechanical processes.
6. General Intelligence - gauges your educational and training potential.
7. Aviation Reasoning ( for RNZAF Air Crew applicants ) -
   Flight Mathematics - assesses your ability to work out speed, distance, flight time and fuel consumption calculations.
   Aircraft Instrumentation Comprehension - assesses your ability to work out how the aircraft is orientated or travels through the air.

Many find testing stressful and intense, particularly as it determine many of your opportunities within the NZ Defence Force.

I can help you prepare for your exams, so that you can take them with full confidence in yourself.
