The Royal Navy – What they are looking for during the selection
Before we tell you more about how our resource will help you to pass the Royal Navy RT, let’s first recap on what the navy are looking for in successful candidates:
The selection tests to join the Armed Forces are carefully designed in order to assess the key skills, qualities and personality that is required for a challenging, yet deeply rewarding career. It takes a special person to show the correct determination, will-power, fortitude and charisma for a job in the Armed Forces. Ultimately, this career path is not just a profession, it is a life choice. A life choice that you will need to embed into your daily routine.
A job in the royal Navy comes with great responsibility. Responsibilities that not only effect you, but your fellow colleagues, your family, and even your country. You will be responsible for upholding and maintaining security, protection and assistance to:

In order to give you a better understanding of the type of person the Royal Navy is looking for, here are a list of some of the qualities and skills required to join the Armed Forces.
Remember, this list is not extensive. There are many other skills and qualities that recruiters look for in potential employees. Depending on the job position for which are applying, will depend on what skills are valued the most.
THE ROYAL NAVY TEST (RT) CONSISTS OF 4 TIMED MULTIPLE-CHOICE APTITUDE TESTS AS FOLLOWS:
PART 1 – REASONING TEST
Reasoning skills are assessed to determine a candidate’s ability to process information and recognise underlying patterns and configurations amongst a set of words, shapes or sequences.

Sample Royal Navy RT Questions
To help you get a better understanding of the Royal Navy recruiting test, let’s take a quick look at a few sample questions.
PART 1 – REASONING
Reasoning skills are assessed to determine a candidate’s ability to process information and recognise underlying patterns and configurations amongst a set of words, shapes or sequences.
EXAMPLE
Look at how the figure changes from box 1 to box 2. Apply the same changes in order to get the correct answer.
EXPLANATION
ANSWER = D
PART 2 – VERBAL ABILITY
Verbal Ability is a test used to assess a candidate’s ability to recognise relationships between words and sentences.
Typical questions in relation to Verbal Ability include: completing the sentence, rephrasing sentences, grouping words, word discrepancies and so forth. This assessment is used to determine how well a candidate can quickly and effectively work through verbal formats, and demonstrate high levels of literary and verbal understanding.
EXAMPLE
In the sentence, the word outside the brackets will only go with three of the words inside the brackets in order to make a longer word. Which ONE word will it NOT go with?
EXPLANATION
For these types of questions, you need to determine what words in the answer box fits with the word outside the brackets. Note, for these questions, the word needs to make one complete word i.e. downsize.
ANSWER = A = Out
PART 3 – NUMERICAL REASONING
The Numerical Reasoning part of your Royal Navy Recruit test is to assess a candidate’s ability to make accurate calculations using basic mathematical formulas including:
We suggest that you practice as many different types of mathematical questions as you can prior to your assessment.
EXAMPLE
EXPLANATION
The CROSS looks like a multiplication sign and it tells you which numbers to multiply together.
One arm is saying ‘multiply the 5 by the 5’, and the other arm is saying ‘multiply the 7 by the 3’.
The BOW says ‘multiply the 2 numbers I am pointing at’. That is 7 times 5.
The answer is 35 and it goes underneath the line in the answer.
ANSWER 1 11/35
PART 4 – MECHANICAL COMPREHENSION
Mechanical Comprehension tests are an assessment that measures an individual’s ability to understand mechanical concepts. The tests are usually multiple-choice in nature and present simple, frequently encountered mechanisms and technical situations. The majority of Mechanical Comprehension tests require a working knowledge of basic mechanical operations and the application of physical laws.
EXAMPLE
A lever consists of a bar which is balanced on a fixed point, known as the fulcrum. If you needed to lift the weight, you need to work out how to calculate the force needed.
EXPLANATION
F = (weight x distance from fulcrum to weight) ÷ distance from fulcrum to point where force is being applied.
F = (80 x 9) ÷ 12
F = 720 ÷ 12
F = 60 lbs
ANSWER = 60 lbs
