It's full of questions like: can you cope with discipline?
Why do you think you will be a good soldier?
Do you know the army drug policy?
Mostly the answer you should give is pretty obvious, do no over think it, very little thought is required but do make sure to know what shoot me said.

mm1306 and SHOOT_ME, Thanks for your replies. Here's my predicament, on my online application I put three choices, however when I went for my initial meeting at the AFCO I was given another application form to fill out where the recruiter and I just filled in one choice, Scots Guards, I was always intent on joining them and never considered settling for anything else. I also have a family history with the regiment so there was never really going to be a secnd choice.

Was the barb test fairly medium knowledge? Or did it start off easy then get difficult? How long was it roughly? Would appreciate a reply.

Hey, the BARB tests are easy to be honest, "Dave is taller than Dan, Who is shorter?". That sort of stuff. The thing to remember though is that speed is of the essence, you are scored on your ability to answer correctly AND quickly. The questions don't get harder exactly, just worded differently. Don't forget you also have number distance questions, letter matching, odd word out and the 'F' test. But as I said earlier the tests are easy, I passed for gods sake!!
When you go in with your application and book your test they will give you a practice book, the qustions in that are basically what to expect in the 'real thing'. Good luck.

P.S It took me about 30 mins, then I stayed for the literacy and numeracy assessments, which took about 40-45 mins all in.
