Unlock every practice test
One payment. No subscription, ever.
Buy the test you are actually sitting. The service you apply to decides which one that is — the RAF and Royal Navy use the Defence Aptitude Assessment, the British Army uses the Army Cognitive Test.
Try the official free practice first
The Royal Navy publishes free official DAA familiarisation questions that show the real question formats and the time allowed for each part. Try them first — our practice is extra drilling for the same abilities, not a copy of the real test.
Open the Royal Navy DAA familiarisation questions ↗Try the official free practice first
The Army's official free ACT practice questions (run by Mindmill) show the real question formats, and you can try them as often as you like. Do them first — several of our sections use older BARB-style formats, so treat our practice as extra speed-and-accuracy drilling rather than a copy of the real test.
