CBAT 4+

I’m due to take my CBAT for an RAF officer and I fee a lot more confident after using this. Although not every test is on the app (I think for practical reason), the app is great for getting to grips with what looked complicated at first.

There is an issue I’ve run into though over the past few times of using it. For the “align the dot” test i found that after a few rounds the dot will not react to my inputs, I know it’s based off the iphones motion sensors; don’t quote me on that though, and I found that after a few rounds the dot will not even rezct to my movements with the phone. Not sure if it’s on my end, probably is, but thought I’d mention it.

Great app though nonetheless and well worth it for anyone doing the CBAT.

I’m 15 and Just brought this game a few days ago to prepare for my future job in the RAF. I’m confused on how the align the dot on the coordination thing. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do. another minus is that it doesn’t tell you if your right or wrong when your completing the questions which is bad for me but i guess for testing it’s good.

Besides that it’s such a good way to practise

I took my CBAT last week and i found that none of the tests other than memory and basic arithmetic were identical on the app or the test.

The instrument comprehension test included banking degrees, as well as turns (sharp or balanced), both of which the app doesn’t include, the geographical awareness questions in the app are also very poor in challenge compared to the test. in the test you were told to make a map in your head of 4-8 locations including distance and direction between then, whereas in the app you’re only given three locations with a 50/50 west or east answer.

The multitasking segment in the app is also lacking as in the test you were given 2-4 call signs and like simon says you could only do tasks if told them, you had to press a button when a beep came on within 3 seconds, you had to remember a string of 6/7 digit numbers, you also had to go through specific squares and circles using the joystick avoiding the walls of the tunnel, all while white noise was playing in the background.

I gave this app two stars because it has helped a tiny bit but other than that i wouldn’t recommend downloading, no hate to the development team but the rest of the people doing CBAT on the day thought the same.

Good luck if you’re taking the CBAT, and remember to take your time.
