The CFAT is a multiple choice test that assesses your abilities in three distinct areas:

• Verbal Skills (15 questions, maximum time allowed for completion is 5 minutes)
• Spatial Ability (15 questions, maximum time allowed for completion is 10 minutes)
• Problem Solving (30 questions, maximum time allowed for completion is 30 minutes)

With each multiple choice question, you will have four answers to choose from. Only one answer is correct.

As the test is an important component of the Canadian Forces selection system, it is essential that you are in good mental and physical health when you write the test. The following suggestions are offered to assist in preparing for the test taking session:

• Ensure that you are well rested
• Should you be ill or not feeling well, reschedule your test
• Should you be on medication that may weaken your performance, reschedule your test
• Should you require corrective eye wear (i.e. glasses), remember to bring them
• Allow yourself sufficient time to reach the testing location
