5 TIPS FOR PASSING THE RAF TESTS
1. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the test. This will ensure that your concentration levels are at their best. If you are dehydrated then you are less likely to perform at your peak.
2. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep before the actual test. You will find that your performance will be much better if you are alert.
3. Practise without a calculator. You may not be able to use one on the actual test day, so practising without one will prepare you beforehand.
4. The tests usually take place at the Royal Air Force Careers Office. Make sure you get to the venue with plenty of time to spare. You are better off arriving 30 minutes early than 5 minutes late. Being late for the test will only make you more nervous.
5. You do not need to take any writing implements with you on the day. The RAF Careers Office will provide you with any pens, paper or other stationery equipment required.
THE AIRMAN TEST (AST) CONSISTS OF 7 TIMED MULTIPLE-CHOICE APTITUDE TESTS AS FOLLOWS:
VERBAL REASONING TEST
The VERBAL REASONING TEST will determine how effectively you can interpret written information. You will have to answer 20 questions in a 15-minute time period.
Numerical Test
During the NUMERICAL TEST, which assesses how well you interpret numerical data, you will be required to answer 12 questions in 4 minutes and also 15 questions in 11 minutes. This is because there are two parts to the test. The two tests include charts, graphs and tables and also fractions, decimals and percentages.
WORK RATE TEST
The WORK RATE TEST is utilised to see how fast you can work and also how accurate your work is. When working in the RAF you will be working with sophisticated equipment and it is essential that you can work quickly and safely. During this test you will have 4 minutes to answer 20 questions.
SPATIAL REASONING TEST
A SPATIAL REASONING TEST designed to examine your ability to work with different shapes and objects. During this test you will have just 4 minutes to answer 10 questions.
MECHCANICAL COMPREHENSION TEST

Start Preparing Now 👉Sample RAF Airman Test Questions
To help you get a better understanding of the RAF Airman test, let’s take a quick look at a few sample questions.

Question 01
A block and tackle refers to a device which is used to:
- A. Place under the wheel of a car to stop it from rolling backward
- B. Catch large fish
- C. Leverage a stationary object
- D. Hoist an object upwards by means of rope and pulleys
The answer to this question is D. A block and tackle is used to hoist upwards heavy objects. This is something you will use during your career in the RAF.
Question 02
Which man is carrying less weight?
- A. X
- B. Y
- C. Both the same
The answer to this question is man X. This is because the majority of the weight is towards the front of the pole; therefore, man Y is carrying most of the weight.

A. 3.5V
B. 12.25V
C. 7V
