For a number of years now, everyone who has done CBAT walks away with a computer printout of their scores, so they know were they stand with regard to their application. Current cut-off score for pilot is 113, but 130 is generally considered 'competitive'.
What the hell do CBATs have to do with where you get streamed?
I have been told this by two people who have been streamed in the last couple of years. When streaming, the board have your EFT reports and CBAT scores to hand. CBAT does show your potential to be a pilot, but it also shows to what degree you can multi-task in a high pressure environment. The higher the score, the more likely you are to be able to operate in a stressful situation.
It's the same reason they look at CBAT scores when drawing candidates from the sift.
