ADF Gap Year (6 Viewers)

[Sneezing tree]

Everyone has to go to a YOU session to do the aptitude test. But those who have already done their YOU session before being shortlisted go straight to the assesment stage, thats what im doing, i got 2 weeks to study. I'm guessing the majority of the cut will be made after the assesment stage. At my YOU session the careers guy said 10,000 people applied for GAP 2011. Only 300 positions are avaliable. Good luck champ.

I got Shortlisted aswell, Does everyone get through the You session that got shortlisted and onto the Assesment stage, or do they cut people???

2 weeks to study?
study for what?

what happens at the assessment day? is it just all fitness work?

 

[Sneezing tree]

At assesment day there is no fitness work, it's only interviews; psychological, main medical and job. All of which go for about 30 minutes. You have to understand what ADF lifestyle is like, ADF Corps', what the training process is, pay and leave entitlements, posting bases, equipment and weapons you may use, operational environments... etc etc. you basically have to have a detailed understanding of the ADF for you to have a chance at getting in. The fitness component is only done if you are accepted into your job and its done just before your enlisted and sent off to Kapooka.

Basically the assesment day is like a job interview
with a medical and psych evaluation as well

They definately look at it, and photocopy and scan it on to their files, you have to have a minimum pass math and english.

im pretty determined and disciplined and learn quickly but yeah hopefully they accept me would be so good, get to learn so much

 

[Jaylem92]

how come it didnt say that you needed passes in english and maths on the application test, cause i do year 12 VCAL and dont do maths

 

[Sneezing tree]

Oh if you've done VCAL, they count that as equivalent at a pass year 12, so don't worry about what I said.
