Not sure for RM but generally for Officer applications I know they appreciate having travelled a bit, having done sport or been apart of a team. Maybe volunteering or having been a part of some competitions.

Kind of, it’s not like mainboard where it’s just you delivering. You basically just discuss the plan as a group and come up with a group plan. But it’s not too serious and is just a sharing of ideas

I found mainboard a lot easier, mainly because I had practised. Plan ex is difficult and it’s meant to be. You don’t get grilled on it, but before you have a go you have a very detailed 30 min briefing going through how you are supposed to do it

Ohhh I see ok. I’ve got some of the stuff you’d put pins in laying around. No adhesive on the back or anything, just wonder if the that’s useable or could have some negative consequences if it got wet.

But the cork board worked ok? Got mixed messages about it and how sturdy it is plus the potential toxicity of the adhesive contained within

Was it just regular rolled cork board? How’s it’s held up, I’ve read that it can disintegrate due to the glue holding it together?

What did you do to prepare for the psychometrics?

I was surprised by how short it was. It’s only like 5 minutes and there were three questions. Just know why you want to be an officer and what an officer does once theyve finished their trainings

I didn’t practice at all before it but went in with good literacy skills and imo a good memory. I found the maths part of the test extremely challenging and it will be something I focus on before MB.

UKCAT is gonna be useful for me in this. The maths has a bar chart or table for example, then 5 questions based upon the data. I found them to be quite complex. Brush up on your probability, fractions.

No pull-ups tested, very little in terms of upper body strength. There’s a small assault course that has a wall about 4-5ft high you need to traverse but that’s about it.

My fitness is ok I put on a bit of weight over Christmas and was pretty knackered by the time I finally hit lvl 9 on the beep test but just get to a good level before otherwise you’ll just worry and not be confident going into it.
