 Defence Forces Army & Naval Cadetship Recruitment Campaign 2012

Dear Applicant

With reference to your application for the Defence Forces Army & Naval Service
Cadetship Competition, we are supplying you with this year’s Test Familiarisation
Booklet.

The purpose of this Test Familiarisation Booklet is to introduce you to the tests that are
being used in the written assessment, i.e. the first stage of the selection procedures for
this year’s Defence Forces Army & Naval Service Cadetship Competition.

This booklet contains information about the different tests being used, how the actual test
booklets and answer sheets work, the time limits for each test and how the tests are
scored. By familiarising yourself with the exercises in advance of the testing session, you
can help optimise your performance on the day.

The aim of this Test Familiarisation Booklet is to ensure that you are comfortable with the
testing format and are aware of how to do your best in the test situation.

Please take the time to read this Test Familiarisation Booklet carefully as it is your
opportunity to prepare for the tests that you are about to sit and it should also help to
reduce the additional time spent clarifying instructions before the tests. Please note that
in order to ensure that you will not be detained for any longer than necessary on
the day of the test, there will be a limited amount of time allocated for instructions
and examples on the test day.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for applying for the competition and to
encourage you once again to take time to read through the documentation carefully. We
look forward to seeing you on the test day.

Thank you.

The Tests Being Used:

Stage 1 consists of three competitive pencil and paper tests, which will be in multiple-
choice short-answer format. They have been designed so that they are fair to all
candidates, and are objectively scored.

Test 1: Verbal Reasoning

This test is designed to measure the ability to evaluate the logic of various kinds of
argument. In this test you will be asked to decide whether a statement made in
connection with given information is true or untrue, or whether there is insufficient
information to judge. On the test day you will have 25 minutes to complete this test.

Test 2: Numerical Reasoning

This test is designed to measure the ability to make correct decisions or inferences from
numerical data. On the test day you will have 35 minutes to complete this test and
calculators will be allowed.

Test 3: Job Simulation Exercise

The job simulation exercise attempts to identify what you would be most likely to do
when presented with a scenario typical of what could occur in a job situation. This
exercise measures a range of skills and qualities required in the Cadet and Officer role,
ranging from making decisions during Cadet training to operating effectively as an Officer
in command of troops both at home and overseas. In this exercise you will be required to
read through a number of scenarios and then choose one of five possible actions you
would be most likely to carry out based on the information presented in the scenario. On
the test day you will have 35 minutes to complete this exercise.

Test Booklet & Answer Sheet Formats:

The Verbal Reasoning Test and Numerical Reasoning Test are presented in the same
test booklet, each test clearly identifiable and in a separate section of the book. The Job
Simulation Exercise is presented in an individual test booklet.

The first pages of each of the tests will contain brief test instructions and example
questions. The test questions will follow on the other pages. In order to ensure that you
will not be detained for any longer than necessary on the day of the test, there will be a
limited amount of time allocated for instructions and examples on the test day.

You will be given two answer sheets for the test session. The answer sheets are
designed for computerised scoring. This means they can be sent through computer
scanning equipment, which will read the marks you put on the answer sheet and your
scores can be automatically calculated.

 Defence Forces Army & Naval Cadetship Recruitment Campaign 2012

How to Complete the Answer Sheets:

The first thing that you will be asked to do when you receive your answer sheets is to
enter your name and candidate ID in the spaces provided. You will be given specific
instructions about how and when to do this at the examination.

All of the questions are presented in multiple choice format, which means that you will
have to choose from a set of answers labelled [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] and so on, depending on
the number of answer options given for the questions in each test. You must mark the
boxes with heavy marks [] that fill the box completely, in order for the computer
scanner to read it. This is very important as check ticks [√] or crosses [X] cannot
be interpreted by the computer scanner.

Here are some helpful tips for completing the answer sheets:

 You should listen carefully to the instructions for each test and ensure that you are
completing the correct answer section on the answer sheet for the test that you are
doing.

 As you go through the tests you may wish to check that you are filling in the right
answer line for the question that you are answering. This is just in case you have
marked the answer for a question in the wrong answer section or on the wrong
answer line

 While these points may seem obvious, it is possible to lose your place on an answer
sheet and fill in the wrong box in a test situation. Unfortunately, errors such as these
will not be picked up by the computerised scoring process.

 You should fully erase any answers you wish to change.

 There are no penalties for incorrect answers in the Job Simulation Exercise, there
are some marks awarded for all answers.

 It is important that you put maximum effort into each of the tests as they all
contribute to your overall test result.

 If you do not mark the answer sheet as you are instructed it may not scan and some
of your answers may not be accounted for – the onus is on you to ensure that it is
correct.

Passage 1

The operation of mobile phones is becoming increasingly complex and users

are now required to take a more ‘computer-like’ approach to effectively
operate a phone. For example, new mobile phones often have high level
features such as text messaging, audio-visual facilities, Internet and
computer gaming. Some users are likely to find it increasingly difficult to
operate these features, although there is a large and growing sector of young
users who seem more naturally competent at using them.

1. Mobile phone users generally take a computer-like approach when operating their
phones.
2. Internet features are becoming increasingly common in mobile phones.
3. The younger sector is more competent at using the audio-visual facilities in mobile
phones.
4. The increasingly complex operation of mobile phones means there are few users
who are naturally competent.

Answers to practice questions for Paper 1 – Verbal Reasoning Test

Q1. C Q2. A Q3. A Q4. B

Q5 C Q6. B Q7. A Q8. B

Suggested Explanations for Verbal Reasoning test practice Questions.

Q1. Statement: Mobile phone users generally take a computer-like approach when
operating their phones.
According to the text, “users are now required to take a more computer-like
approach”. However, the text doesn’t mention that mobile phone users actually do
take a computer-like approach. In actual fact, the text also argues that, “some users
are likely to find it increasingly difficult to operate these features”. The answer is
cannot say.

Q2. Statement: Internet usage is becoming increasingly common in mobile phones.

According to the text, “new mobile phones often have high level features such as text
messaging, audio-visual facilities, Internet and computer gaming”. This means that
the Internet features are becoming increasingly common. The answer is true.

Q3. Statement: The younger sector is more competent at using the audio-visual facilities
in mobile phones.
According to the text, “there is a large and growing sector of young users who seem
more naturally competent at using them (these features). The answer is true.

Q4. Statement: The increasingly complex operation of mobile phones means there are
few users who are naturally competent.
According to the text, “there is a large and growing sector of young users who seem
naturally more competent at using them (these features)”. The answer is false.

Q5. Statement: Organic food production is the fastest growing field in the food industry.
According to the text, “The production of organic products …..continues to increase
considerably” and “is likely to triple over the next decade”. However, the text never
mentions that it is the fastest growing field in the food industry. The answer is
cannot say.

Q6. Statement: The cause of enhanced organic food consumption is the higher general
standard of living.
The text clearly states that “Health awareness and higher standards of living are both
enhancing consumption”. Therefore a higher standard of living is only one of two
main causes of enhanced organic food consumption. The answer is false.

Q7. Statement: Consumers are now more conscious of the value of organic food than in
the past.
According to the text, “Health awareness (is) enhancing consumption”. Therefore, we
can infer that consumers are now more conscious of the value of organic food than
in the past. The answer is true.

Q8. Statement: The consumption of organic food has tripled over the past decade. The
text states that, “the (organic food) market is likely to triple over the next decade.
There is no reference to the past. The answer is false.

Answers to practice questions for the Numerical Reasoning Test

Q1. D Q2. A Q3. E Q4. C Q5. E

Suggested Explanations for Numerical Reasoning Test Practice Questions.

1. Which ISP scored 50 and below the least number of times?

ISP 4 received only 25 scores of 50 and below, which is the lowest in comparison to all of
the other ISP’s. The answer is D.

2. How many scores 0f 65-85 did ISP 1 and ISP 3 receive between them?
ISP 1 received 1056 scores of 65-85 and ISP 3 received 687 scores of 65-85.
Between them they received: 1056+687=1743. The answer is A.

3. What proportion of scores were 50 and below for ISP 5?

(Total number of scores 50 and below for ISP 5 / total number of scores for ISP 5)X100:
(112/1540) x 100=7.2%. The answer is E.

4. Which ISP had the lowest percentage of 85 and above scores?

First we have to calculate the percentage of 85 and above scores for each category: (the
number of scores that were 85 and above for each ISP/total number of scores for each
ISP) x 100
ISP1: (458/2168) x 100=21.1%
ISP2: (470/1937) x 100=24.3%
ISP3: (75/1437) x 100=5.2%
ISP4: (124/1493) x 100=8.3%
ISP5: (389/1540) x100=25.3%
ISP3 had the lowest percentage of 85 and above scores with 5.2%. The answer is C.

5. Which ISP reached the highest overall score with regard to customer satisfaction?
In order to determine which ISP received the highest overall score, we have to calculate
the percentage for each score category and then calculate the average score.
Since each category has a range of scores we need to assign each category a number.
We will assign the lowest category, 50 and below, the number 1, and we will assign the
highest category, 85 and above, the number 4.

Category Number
50 and below 1
50-65 2
65-85 3
85 and above 4

Average score per ISP = [(number of ‘1’ scores x score) + (number of ‘2’ scores x
score) + (number of ‘3’ scores x score) + (number of ‘4’ scores x score)] / total
number of scores

Average Score ISP1: {(256x1) + (398x2) + (1056x3) + (458x4)] / 2168 = 2.7

Average Score ISP2: = 2.81
Average Score ISP3: = 2.52
Average Score ISP4: = 2.45
Average Score ISP5: = 2.94
ISP5 has the highest overall score of 2.94
The answer is E

TEST 3: JOB SIMULATION EXERCISE:

The Job Simulation Exercise attempts to identify what you would most likely do in a
typical situation, which you could face as either a Cadet or Officer in the Defence Forces.
The scenarios reflect critical aspects of the job where an Officer or a Cadet has to show
leadership and initiative in order to achieve a particular goal or mission. At times a Cadet
or an Officer may need to make quick decisions based on what limited information is
available. At other times he/she may need to consult with others and seek guidance from
higher headquarters. The scenarios have been designed by members of the Defence
Forces and reflect the variety of work situations encountered by Cadets and Officers.

The exercise does not require knowledge of the Defence Forces regulations and/or
procedures. Your task is to choose a course of action based on the information
presented in the scenario.

On the day you will be asked to answer 25 questions in 35 minutes

Instructions

In this test you are presented with a question concerning a work related scenario. Your
task is to choose which one of five possible courses of action you would be most likely to
carry out based on the information presented in the scenario.

Each answer option presented is a realistic course of action. There are marks available
for each answer presented, with the marks varying in relation to the appropriateness of
the action for each particular scenario.

Please be as honest as you can in selecting your responses. You should not select an
answer on the basis that it seems the right thing to say. The questions are concerned
with determining your preferred course of action given a certain scenario/context.
Choose what you think you would do based on the information provided. Remember,
there are marks available for all of the options, so do not spend too much time on any
one scenario.

Indicate your choice of course of action by filling in the appropriate box A, B, C, D or E on

the mini answer sheet provided. The purpose of the sample scenarios which follow is
only to give an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the format of the Job Simulation
Exercise, as marks will be awarded for all answers. Give yourself approximately 2½
minutes to do the following two example questions

13
 Defence Forces Army & Naval Cadetship Recruitment Campaign 2012

Scenario 1

It is 0830hrs on a Saturday morning. You are Barrack Security Officer and the Main Gate
Military Policeman requests your presence at the barracks gate. When you arrive you
find a gentleman claiming to be a retired senior officer, who informs you that he has the
permission of the Commanding Officer to enter the barracks and view the antique
artillery piece that is on the main square. You ask the gentleman for identification, which
he does not have. What do you do?

Options

A Inform the gentleman that you are sorry but that the Commanding Officer did not
inform you of his arrival and that unauthorised personnel cannot be allowed to enter
the barracks.

B Ask the gentleman to return in the afternoon with his identification and contact the
Commanding Officer in the meantime.

C Phone the Commanding Officer and ask him whether this gentleman had arranged
to visit the barracks

D Allow the gentleman to enter the barracks but ensure that a member of the Barrack
Security Force accompanies him throughout his visit.

E Record his name and allow him to enter the barracks. Request that the Gate
Policeman record the time he enters and leaves the barracks

If you feel that your preferred course of action is to allow the gentleman to enter the
barracks and to ensure that a member of the Barrack Security Force accompanies him
throughout his visit, you should indicate this by fully blackening D, as shown below.

Example Question [A] [B] [C] [D] [E]

If you feel that your preferred course of action is to phone the Commanding Officer and

 Defence Forces Army & Naval Cadetship Recruitment Campaign 2012

Scenario 2

As part of your Defence Studies Course the cadets have to complete group projects on
various topics. You have been put in charge of a project that is tasked with giving a one-
hour presentation on ‘Developments in Modern Warfare’. There are five cadets, including
yourself, in the group.

You have noticed that one of the cadets in your group is not pulling his weight and is
failing to meet the deadlines that you are setting. The other members of the group don’t
seem to have noticed that this Cadet is not meeting the deadlines. What do you do?

Options

A Approach the other members of the group and point this out to them and arrange to
collectively bring up the issue at the next meeting.

B Talk privately to the Cadet in question and inform him that he is letting down his
colleagues and that if he doesn’t start pulling his weight that you will be informing
your superiors.

C Talk to the Cadet in question, offering to take some of his workload and redistribute
it among the group as it is very important that the group gets a high mark for the
presentation.

D Inform the Cadet in question that he is failing to meet his deadlines and as a result
the whole group is suffering. Acknowledge that he may busy with other work but that
all Cadets are busy and he must find time for the group work

E Approach your superiors and inform them that this Cadet is not pulling his weight
and request that he be removed from the syndicate

If you feel that your preferred course of action is to approach the other members of the
group and point this out to them and arrange to collectively bring the issue up at the next
meeting, you should indicate this by fully blackening A, as shown below.

Example Question [A] [B] [C] [D] [E]

If you feel that your preferred course of action is talk privately to the Cadet in question and

Suggested Test Taking Tactics:

Here are some suggestions which will help you to prepare for the testing session.

In advance:
 Work through the practice items again and try to understand how to reach the correct answer
for each question.
 Get a good nights’ sleep before the test session and allow yourself plenty of time to reach the
test venue so that you don’t have to rush.
 If you wear glasses/contact lenses, don’t forget to bring them with you.
 Try to relax before the test session. If you are over-anxious you are unlikely to perform at your
best. Practicing tests so that you know what to expect in terms of tests themselves and in
terms of how the situation makes you feel, will help to control any test nerves.

During the test session:

 Each test will be preceded by a set of brief instructions and practice test questions. Listen
carefully to the instructions for each test, especially the numbers of questions and time limits for
each test.
 Make sure that you understand how to use the answer sheet as outlined on the previous
pages.
 As you go through the test, you should check that you are marking the correct space on the
answer sheet for the question that you are answering
 Read through the questions and answers carefully, paying attention to detail.
 Attempt as many questions as you can, working quickly and accurately and to the best of your
abilities. You should try as hard as you can, as the more questions that you get right, the
higher your score will be.
 Tests are usually designed so that the questions increase in difficulty throughout the test - so
work quickly at the start, even if you find the questions easy, you may need the time later.
 If you find a question difficult, it may help to choose the correct answer by first eliminating the
wrong answers.
 Do not waste time on very difficult questions, but go back to them at the end if you have
enough time.
 If you finish within the time, use the remaining time to check your answers (you get no extra
marks for finishing early)

Further Information about Selection Tests:

Although these are not necessary in order to perform well at test sessions, you may find it useful and
maybe reassuring to have a look at one of the many books available which are specifically aimed at
