Re: RN application-Pilot/Obs
The base pass mark for pilot aptitude is 112. You will find that the scores that make a candidate competitive for selection depend on the state of recruitment at the time. If you have large numbers of people applying for relatively few places you will find that you may need a score of 140+ to be selected. Conversely if there a few people applying for a larger number of places you will find that they may be selected on a lower score say below 120. The problem with this is that if you select the latter group of people they are likely to become training risks or possibly even get chopped. If you do your aptitude tests with the RAF the Navy will just take these scores into account after converting them slightyl, rather than sending you again as you are normally only allowed two attempts. If your score is so poor that they indicate you are not fit to be in control of a moving vehicle it is unlikely that you will be invited to take the tests again.

Re: RN application-Pilot/Obs
People say you cant do anything about your aptitude, i think you can make sure your mind's fresh, do some maths, number memory practise etc.
Just before i went in for my second test, i spoke to a grinning chap who'd just taken his for the second time and made a good improvement. He attributed it to learning to juggle!
Also, i know a girl who got a score of around 120, and she got offered a job (pilot) by both the Navy and the RAF
Whatever happens, don't bimble through the rest of the process in a state of suicidal depression whatever your score turns out to be - keep hacking away, do your best.
All more corn for the mill.

You won't get a reply either as the marks at OASC are an indicator and whilst the pass level is set, whether we take you depends on a lot of other factors. What am I saying....well, suppose you got say 120 as a Pilot score from OASC, which for the sake of argument is a pass, you would be cheesed off if you were not taken.
If we said the pass mark for P is *** and O is *** then people may percieve that they may have comback if not selected. The truth is that in your batch or throughout the year people may have a lot higher scores than you achieved.
DONT worry about the score and let the system see if you have what it takes. It is statistically not wrong that often in my experience!
