Re: anyone going to ADFA

I applied for it, didnt get in as I didnt go to an airforce base (during half yearlies, what do you expect). PM me if you have any questions. (family members are also in the ADF if you need any other specific questions answered)

Re: anyone going to ADFA

Just a curious question. Do we get separate showers or do we have to shower together? Because that would be a bit disturbing. And hows the life there anyways?

Ouch. Im sorry to hear that. but your still doing the hsc arnt you? How can they base your school marks only and not hsc? o_O Thats weird. But you can always sign up with the sponsered undergraduate scheme thingo in uni later i guess.

Thats whats im nervous about, you apply early during year 12 only to be not accepted later or not getting the correct atar for the degree at adfa later in the year. Suckkksss.

Re: anyone going to ADFA

I have my specialist testing in this upcoming week and have been looking around on forums and blogs for any available information. So far i know about the computer test with the two joysticks and a 25Q maths test in 20 minutes (or something along those lines). I would appreciate any knowledge regarding the maths topic and/or any other helpful information. Thankss

The joysick test(which also includes a fun memory test) is for specialist testing, so for pilots, etc.. The maths they ask you is like year 10 standard questions. mostly high-ish level algebra. It's the 60 question(i think it was 60...) general ability questions which really test your skill. Then you have a psych, med and assesment session(which is like a job interview mixed with a test of ADF knowledge) the Officer selection board.

:( i failed to get in because apparently i'm crazy. something about antisocialness. so they expect you to go to parties, etc... then answer NO for &quot;have you used drugs/alcohol?&quot; Just my two cents.

Re: anyone going to ADFA

thank you for the fast reply. Do I have a psych interview on this same date, or later? Also, if applying for seaman officer; will the joystick test be necessary. Thanks for the help:)

nah, the boyfriend answered yes and he's basically accepted. they'd be more pissed off if they found out you were lying.
