Just a quick question,

I notice some people know exactly what their BARB Test score was. After I did my BARB I wasn't told what I had scored I was just given two sheets of paper with jobs that I'm able to do. There were 79 jobs on the list, does this mean my score was 79? or is there another way of scoring?

Would love to see what the only job offer is if you scored '1' on your test! (think I've left the door wide open for slaggings with that comment!)

i was told you have to score 60 to be given any job choise.

Oh right, well doesn't matter now anyway I suppose, was just curios.

You have to ask for your score at the end mate, I don't know why they don't tell you, but they don't. You have to ask for it.

That's bollocks about if you get below 60 you don't get ANY jobs. I think if you get below 25 or somthing like that you dont get any jobs, 60 + is a good score...

You have to ask for you're barb scores mate, I don't know why they don't just tell you them, but they don't.

That's bollocks about if you get below 60 you don't get offered any jobs, It's if you get below 26 or something like that. 60+ Is a good score...

ok well i`ll ask next time i`m in.

hey mate, on the sheets you where given it says Gti, this is your score, i cant fully remember but it says gti next to each job thats the score you need for that specific job, and i believe it says gti at the top with your score?

I can see the GTI column and the scores next to every job but there is no specific score for myself on the sheet.

The highest score I can see next to any of the jobs is 60 for military police so im presuming I got at least 60.???

If RMP is on your list you got above 60.
Your job list also looks at your GCSEs scores some jobs you need them some jobs you dont.

23 is the lowest score that will give you Infantry only!

im got a 72 yesterday but my gcse's are crap so i only picked 4 jobs
out of a list.

1-Parachute regiment
2-Royal Armoured Corps
3-Para Combat Medic
4-Signals

Any help with what the Royal Armoured Corps do would be great because i need to know more before i decide.

The Royal Armoured Corps in a nut shell means tanks. In years passed Cavalry was the shock arm of an army but also used for recce, screening and escorting.

When horse became outdated as a weapon, (Great War onwards), tanks became the shock weapon and armoured formations resembled what the Corps is in the modern age - A mobile shock weapon, complete with recce and attached artillery and infantry support, just like the cavalry of old, combined arms are needed to win an engagment.

For more info on tank warfare look at the second world war and how Germany perfected this powerful weapon and for better details on the RAC visit the Army website.

A friend of mine got 40 on his and hes in basic now so you can get under 60 and still get job options. I got 60 and my recruiter told me without asking.

Just done my barb test and got 63% but did not get shown any jobs i can do but this could be because i stated what i wanted to do.

i got 78 on my BARB, i was told i needed 26 for infantry, my result was on the test that was printed off after i finished
