RN RECRUIT TEST PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CLICK TO EXPAND)
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
