Wednesday 5th October

 Today I passed my psychometric tests in derby and then came back to college to finish off our drill routine for tomorrow.

The psychometric was a lot harder then i originally thought, those of you who are looking at joining either the Royal Marines or the Navy you will have to pass these tests. The test is split up into four parts; Reasoning test, a Verbal Ability test, a Numerical Reasoning tests and a Mechanical Comprehension Test.

When you first go the carer's office they will give you a presentation on what you are interesting in doing, for example Royal Marines and then they will then give you a few information booklets which includes a practice booklet for psychometric tests. The questions in this booklet are a lot easier then the one in the actually test.

If you want more practice psychometric test you can purchase them on this link:

Please be-aware if you don't pass your psychometric tests you will have to wait 6 months to take it again so purchasing the test online is well worth considering. 

Year 2 Week 4

I am now in my fourth week of the second year. Last year i managed to get through my first year with 2 passes 3 merits and 4 distinctions which i was fairly pleased with.

This year i have managed to get into the Uniformed Services Drill Display Team so I've spent most of today at college practicing our routine, which we will be displaying in London in three days time!
So really need to make sure our drill is up to scratch as we will be representing the college.


This year I'm going to try and update this blog at least once a week as a failed miserably at it last year, I will also try and get as more photo on here as well.
