Thanks Raw Data,
All insights like yours, and www's essay on psychometric testing, are very useful, as they give us a picture of 'where the questioner/interviewer/training Captain, is coming from.
i.e; Do they expect us to be accurate to one decimal place; Do they want us to remember all the checklists perfectly from day one; or Do they want to know if we can tell good jokes, and have a firm handshake ?.
I sweated blood on my IR because towards the end of the test, the entire episode of leaving my previous job, starting a business, saving up the money for the CAP 509, convincing my wife, paying the mortgage etc, etc built up in my mind. I started worrying about all this, and what I would do if I failed the IR, and managed to b*gger up the NDB Hold.
Nailed it on the re-take thank goodness !
Thanks again for the info.
