  • The Admiralty Board Interview is essential since it entails psychometric tests, a planning exercise, leadership tasks, a fitness test, and an essay.
  • Applicants interested in the Royal Marines can join as an officer, commando, or reserve.

Royal Navy Structure

The Royal Navy is organised into five main divisions:

  • Submarine,
  • Royal fleet auxiliary,
  • Marines,
  • Fleet air arm, and
  • Surface fleet.

These categories employ different roles such as medical officer, warfare specialist, and aircrew officer pilot.

The Royal Marines is a branch of the Royal Navy that is responsible for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.

Royal Navy Practice Numeracy Test Introduction

Navy numeracy is also a critical aptitude test that is used in the recruitment of members joining the naval institutions or service. The tests ensure that only qualified individuals are selected to join the forces. The test measures an individual’s ability to quickly make accurate calculations.

A person is supposed to keep a specific track on the timer, which is usually on the screen while planning the answers appropriately. The maritime sector requires accurate moves, and that is why the test is necessary.

Royal Navy Recruitment Test – Useful Info

The Royal Navy Test (RT) is a battery of four multiple-choice tests covering the following areas: reasoning, verbal ability, numeracy and mechanical comprehension. The test is completed in a paper and pencil format. Each of the Royal Navy Recruit Test’s sub-tests is timed separately by a trained test administrator and the whole thing takes about an hour to complete. Two of the Royal Navy Recruit Test’s sub-tests have a numerical element: the numeracy test and the reasoning test. In the real test, a trained test administrator will read through the instructions for each of the Royal Navy Recruit Test’s sub-tests before you start.

Royal Navy Entry stages

The Royal Navy’s recruitment is a staged process. You must successfully complete one stage before you move on to the next. Successful performance on the Royal Navy Recruit Test means you will go on to have a selection interview.  The pass mark for the Royal Navy Recruit Test varies depending on which branch you are applying to – for example, the most technical branches will require a higher pass mark. But for many of the branches, a mark of fifty percent is acceptable to pass the Royal Navy Recruit Test.

What does the Royal Navy Numeracy measure?

The numeracy portion of the Navy Test consists of thirty questions that you must complete in sixteen minutes. It does not require the use of a calculator. This is a test of how quickly and accurately you can complete basic mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The test also requires you to show that you can quickly and accurately use fractions, percentages and basic algebra.

Choose the correct answer from the multiple-choice options shown. In the real test, you will have a separate answer sheet on which to complete your answers. You indicate the correct answer by crossing through that letter. Make sure that you only mark one answer per question. If you decide to change your answer, blacken out your original answer then cross through the letter for your new answer. Focus on working accurately whilst also trying to complete as many questions as you can.

Armed Services Officer SJT example 1

Whilst on operations you return to base at 8.30PM at the end of a long day in your Ocelot patrol car. You are tired, dirty and hungry. You are planning to go to the gym, shower and eat when your sergeant informs you that one of your platoons has been injured in a roadside bomb attack. Fortunately, he has now recovered consciousness, is not seriously injured and is in the hospital. You have another combat patrol starting at 6.30 AM the next day. You also need to prepare your kit and be properly rested.

What would you do?

  • Go to the gym, shower, eat and prepare for tomorrow by getting your kit ready and sleeping as much as possible. As the Soldier is not seriously hurt and has recovered consciousness, ask your sergeant to visit him and to pass on a message that you will visit personally tomorrow.
  • Visit the Soldier in hospital and then prepare for the next day, before getting some food, a shower and as much sleep as possible before dawn. You can always go to the gym tomorrow.
  • Go to the gym, shower and eat first. This will make you more presentable and put you in a more positive and buoyant state of mind when you visit the Soldier.
  • Ask the sergeant to go and visit the Soldier and to pass on a message that you will visit him later that evening.

Armed Services SJT example 2

Your Platoon has been given a task to complete. However, the team can’t agree on how to do it. What would you do?

  • Listen to all the options, and hope that the team accepts the best one.
  • Sit back and wait for the rest of the team to agree.
  • Tell your Platoon Sergeant and get him to sort it out.
  • Do what you can to convince the team that your plan is the best.

Our top aptitude test tips

With all psychometric tests it is important to read and fully understand the test instructions before starting the test. With such complex test formats as these it’s worth repeating this advice again. There are many different types of question format when it comes to critical thinking tests and you must know in advance exactly what each type of question is asking for.

  • Do not let your own general knowledge lead you stray. It’s vital that you do not let any of your personal opinions or your general knowledge influence your answers even slightly. This recommendation applies even if it seems that the correct answer is in direct contradiction to what you know to be true.
  • You need to be very careful when interpreting the meaning of complex words. Particularly when you are being asked to make a judgement on the basis of a shade of meaning.
  • Look out for any words that imply something definitive, such as “always”, “never”, “all”. Do not confuse these with similar words or phrases that do not imply the same strength, for exmaple “almost always, most of the time, invariably” and “often”.
  • These are a precursor to the wide range of formats covered in the subsequent LNAT practice testing section. You would be advised to complete all these practice sections!

Our Practice Aptitude Tips Dos and Don’ts

Practice Aptitude Tips Dos

√          Practice right up to the day before you are going to be taking your test. Just as top tennis players practice their serve and strokes before each and every match, you need to keep practicing for as long as you can.

√          Study the format of the questions that you will be taking and focus your initial practice sessions on these questions.

√          Continue practicing with questions of a similar format and difficulty level. If you are comfortable doing more difficult questions, challenge yourself by working forwards in this book; attempt the preceding questions if you need practice with easier questions.

√          Use all other opportunities for practice that come your way. Look up new words in the dictionary. Read the more difficult parts of the newspaper that you normally ignore or immediately throw away.

√          Focus on understanding why you keep getting particular questions wrong and on avoiding any common mistakes.

Practice Aptitude Tests Dont’s

X         Think that buying a more erudite newspaper, a dictionary (or even a thesaurus) is going to make an immediate difference. You need to use such tools proactively over a period of time.

X Just read the strategies and decide that that is exactly what you are going to do on the day – you will have forgotten them by then. To embed the strategies as part of your test-taking approach you need to apply them to the practice questions in this book.

X  Don’t think that merely improving your vocabulary will be sufficient to pass some of the more difficult verbal reasoning tests. Yes, you do need to understand all the words when reading a passage. But for certain tests you also need to be able to step back and to interpret what the passage or the paragraph as a whole is saying.

Maths Test Tips / Numeracy Test tips

Although you may not finish the test, the best strategy is to answer as many questions as you can in the time available.

  • Before deciding upon your final answer, you may be able to rule out one or two of the multiple choice questions as incorrect.
  • Read each question and review each chart very carefully – taking one chart and its associated questions at a time. Only start looking at the answer options once you have done this.
  • Ensure that you are aware of the units of measurement that each question is referring to.
  • Each question is worth the same so don’t spend too long on a single question. Remember that you may find subsequent questions easier to answer and that if there is time at the end of the test you can return to any unfinished questions.
  • Work efficiently, but do not rush. Although you may not finish the test, the best strategy is to answer as many questions as you can in the time available.
  • Remember to only use the information that is provided in the charts and not any of your own background knowledge.
  • Round up any decimal points and any pence (whilst taking account of any specific instructions provided).

How to do well on verbal reasoning tests

These come in many different types of format. The traditional comprehension format is to have a short text passage followed by a series of questions about facts, opinions, conclusions from the passage content. A bit like those English tests in primary school where you answered questions on a novel extract. Regardless of the type of test, it’s vital to remember:

  • To carefully read each question. Often questions hinge on 1-2 keywords so you must take more care to interpret these accurately.
  • If questioned whether something “always” applies whilst the passage states that it is “sometimes” the case, then this is a false interpretation.
  • One useful strategy is to scan the passage initially, then to read it in more detail.
  • It’s more efficient as you answer each question if you can recall roughly where to find the answer in the passage.
