He had completed his You session, then today went for the further testing and came undone on the mental arithmetic with questions like, 13,852 x 1/8 = . He was informed that he could reapply in 12 months. My question is, does the RAAF look at people applying for the second time seriously or are they really just interested in people making it through the first time? TIA.
No, I failed my first you session and destroyed it through the second time and got through the additional testing as well. I had no issues even though I was a second time applicant. I'd suggest for him to do some daily practice a few months prior to his resit to ensure he gets through it. I did the hard yards and passed, however, I've been waiting over 9 months for flight screening so I don't think my application is going any further. Although I have heard that people do get calls a year after but that is rare.
