    Normally you do them straight after your barb test. Nothing too hard, its just to see at what level your english and maths are at.

    I thought every one did them, but maybe its only for people going for selected trades?!? not sure, can any one clarify ?

    Is it anything to do with GCSE grades? as in if you didnt get relevent Qual's in them you have to do the army tests? It's the only thing i can think of...

    Oh and to answer the Basic Skills question, everyone has to sit the literacy and numeracy assessments, whether you have a degree in English and Maths or not

    They can be done at any time prior to the recruiter interview its just that offices like to try and minimise the amount of times you have to visit the office so its common practice to get it out of the way when the applicant sits the BARB test.
