I think to pass for infantry its something like 28, which is easy. Then the score goes up for all the technical trades, with military intelligence being highest job you can get offered.
I think they add on points if you've got A-C GCSEs or A-levels in english science and maths.

Well done
I like you spent allot of time on touch screen pub Quiz machines. But I was more then often pissed and used them to prop me up, instead of playing them. Thats why I did not do so well.

Hi all, i have my Barb test booked for next thursday. I keep reading through the booklet to get myself used to the type off questions. Has any one got any tips for the new maths and english tests and what they involve
Don't worry too much about BARB scores. If you just miss out by a couple of points, join the same regt/corps doing a different job and then transfer across to the trade you want once you are at Phase 1 Trg. Like a lot of things in the army, once you are in the system there is a lot more leeway and people will give you a bit of slack with your BARB score if you have proved yourself to be a decent chap.
I speak with some authority on this as I was a Tp Comd within an ATR for a year and a half and regularly transferred people between trades even when they didn't quite have the necessary BARB score. The reason for this is that if you were to sit down and take the BARAB test twice you would probably get two different scores: which is the correct score and is it fair to base someone's entire career choice on whether they got 60 or 62 (for example).
Its under 10.30, just use the search function and it will come up. Or better still go and ask your AFCO, or ring them or have your interviews etc and they will tell you.

HI all, I have recently tried to joined the RAF as but failed at the final extremely tough selection process. I am thinking of joing the Army air corp but not as a officer. anyone who could offer me any information about this reg would be a great help
Good work on the BARB scores all. I should have mine for November time. Quite like to get my hands on the booklet to see the sort of things they ask you. Also, its 4 hours long i have been told by AFCO!!!

Update...Got my BARB next Tuesday. No mate, he definatly said i have 4 hours of tests. Maybe the BARB is just 30 mins, and i might have more tests etc. I dont know, but i got stuff in the post and all will become clear i am sure.
30 minutes for the B.A.R.B and about an hour for the Basic skills tests. Just pop in to see your AFCO and he will give you a booklet and keep reading it over and over. The starting questions on the skills test are written for an 8 year old.
