ADF YOU is basically an aptitude test that evaluates your capabilities. We are here to help you understand how many questions, and what type of questions would be in your test.
Pattern and time of the Test
First, understand the pattern of the questionnaire. It is usually a 50-minute online test. Pretty limited time for solving such tough questions, indeed! It is categorized into two sections of courses:
- Mathematics – You will be given 20 minutes to solve 27 questions. It gives you 44 sec to solve each query.
- General Ability or Knowledge – It must be attempted in the remaining 30 minutes (half an hour). It comprises 75 questions that demand critical reasoning giving 24 seconds per question. (Oh, it would be too tough!)
Preparation
For the mathematical section, you must skill the following concepts to solve all questions in the given time. Important topics are mentioned below:
- Basic addition, subtraction, division, multiplication.
- Percentages and fractions.
- Trigonometry
- Geometry
- Polynomial equations
- Algebra
Additional testing
- In certain cases, you will be asked to complete extra requirements such as:
- Fitness test.
- Medical assessments.
Retake policy
You must be thinking, what will happen if you fail the test, right?! Don’t worry, because you will be given other chances to pass. That could be worse for some as you have to wait for 6 months, a pretty long period! Or, for some, it is beneficial to get enough time for better preparation. As we say, everything has a downside, so does this retake policy. No doubt you will be given an extra chance but your previous failure will always be remembered and acknowledged in your record.
Future opportunities
If you luckily pass the test, you will be given a wide range of respectable jobs, you wish to have. You will be welcomed to join the Army, Navy, and Air force. Remember! It is not all about “just” passing a test, because, in case of scoring low, you would be left with limited options of jobs, and those jobs will not be appropriate for you, probably. It ties your future with higher-paying jobs for financial stability.
