    The BARB test

    Hi All,

    New user, if i am on the wrong froum, apologies.

    Can any let me know what is the higest score someone can get on the BARB test. Or what constitutes a high score. I recently got 59.

    Cheers

    Then you are "thick as fcuk" mate :D

    Seriously though, I have no idea on the new entrance test. What do you want to do ?, have you asked the ACIO if you scored enough to do it ?

    I would advise you ask them, and if you want to join a Corps and get a trade, and they try fob you off with Infantry (no offence lads !), then ask to retake it (If you think you are bright enough).

    Have not made my mind up. Recruiting Sgt said the score was high enough for RMP and Int Corp, although he mentioned i would have to further tests for the Int corps.

    Don't just do a "suck and see"

    You need to have a firm idea of what you want to do, otherwise you will:

    a. Do the minimum time and bin it because you're not happy.

    b. Re-trade and find yourself 2 or 3 years behind your peers.

    c. End up after 9 years bitter and twisted.

    Give it a lot of thought, it's your life and your career.

    Re: The BARB test

    Would appreciate it if someone who any idea of my original question would post a reply.

    Auld-Yin (Kn0b Jockey), you need a score of 55 for the Int corps, this in know.

    What I don’t know is what the highest score is. This is purely for my own personal interest.

    Mighty_ Blighty, cheers. It’s a big move, one I wont take lightly!
